Thanks for your comment and the link. If I understand correctly Hey tried not to include IAP in their app, so customers would need to make all transactions on their website, right? If that’s the case the rules are beyond arbitrary, since e.g. Amazon’s Kindle app doesn’t allow you to buy books through IAP (I’m assuming to avoid that 30% cut), and still Apple approved the app. Am I missing something?

“Reader” apps (consume content) versus utility/creator apps. Apple concedes not taking a cut of your content subscription (Netflix, Kindle, magazine readers, etc.), but if someone is subscribing to your app as a tool (not to the content), Apple feels justified in charging for the tool’s ecosystem.
