They want the experience to be that if you download an app that needs payment to function, it's possible to pay using the same payment flow as everything else.

They want the experience to be that if you download an app that needs payment to function, it's possible to pay using the same payment flow as everything else. You don't have to hand over your payment information to a third party.
Maybe Apple needs to make changes to allow apps that are only a part of a service instead of the main selling point of the service to bypass those rules? Seems like it would be tough to figure out what is and isn't covered though.
- nvrspyx 6y agoCrazy how that doesn't apply to Amazon (and Audible) or Netflix /s
- ksec 6y agoApple made exemption to what they called reader apps. Read but not write, or consume and not create. But you would have thought other Video Streaming Services would be reader Apps. But no, only selected Apps could be classify as reader Apps. Which is precisely the problem what some people have with the App Store. Actually may be that is not even the case either. There are many accepting the fact there are economy of scale and Amazon, Netflix are big enough to get special treatment. Which is fine. That is until Tim Cook stood up and said everyone gets the same treatment in App Store. Which is a lie.
