That is already allowed. It's a common misconception.

- Wowfunhappy 6y agoRight, and Epic doesn't. I think this hurts Apple's case if anything, because it means App Store rules do not apply equally!
- joezydeco 6y agoIt was an exception granted to streaming video apps starting back in 2016. Amazon Prime is just the newest entry. https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/1/21203630/apple-amazon-prime-video-ios-app-store-cut-exempt-program-deal https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/1/21203630/apple-amazon-prim...
- mrpippy 6y agoNo, alternate payment methods are not allowed for selling digital goods.
- judge2020 6y agoThis is only true for physical goods. Digital goods that will affect the app must go through in-app purchases.
