That's probably the point - 1:1 experiences that are not scalable is a drop in the bucket even if they charge a 30% commission.
- withinboredom 6y agoI beg to differ. I use a website to schedule our baby sitter, but with this rule, it's possible to be an app.
- rpdillon 6y agoNot to my reading. This rule only applies to real-time experiences. > If your app enables the purchase of realtime person-to-person experiences between two individuals (for example tutoring students, medical consultations, real estate tours, or fitness training)...
- withinboredom 6y agoHow would it not? It’s no different than tutoring. I pay the website a monthly fee (which probably needs to be an IAP) but the payment to the babysitter could continue as-is via bank transfer/ideal.
- rpdillon 6y agoAh, I see. I was intersecting "real-time experience" with Apple's previous "digital goods" and thinking "real-time experience that happens digitally" (which tutoring students, medical consultations, real estate tours, or fitness training all can support), and I quickly wrote off babysitting as something that can't happen digitally. I'm much less confident now based on how you're reading it.
- sheeshkebab 6y agoI think baby sitter type services are already allowed without iap - similar to Uber, etc
- Dylan16807 6y agoAs long as you don't have two kids...
- _-___________-_ 6y agoThe baby sitter is a service delivered outside the platform, so just like Uber and the like, they already didn't have to use IAP. There are tons of similar apps on the App Store that already don't use IAP.
