Ask HN: Why Apple don't restrict any super-apps?
Some so-called "super-apps" are designed around payment system and create their own app ecosystem inside the single app. That is primarily use case for Asian tech - WeChat, Alipay, Go-Pay, PayTM, PayPay Rappi and etc.
How they manage to compile Apple's rules?
- wh-uws 6y agoShort answer: They don't Longer answer: They don't but they are so important to users in those markets that they would not purchase iphones if they could not use those applications there
- Aperocky 6y agoSo does bank apps, there has to be some kind of exceptions. Maybe because pay apps count as banking? It would be absurd to charge 30% on banking.
