i don’t get why you are forced to do this.
the app for my phone network just opens a webview where i pay for stuff. then i close the webview and the funds just show up in the app. do they also pay 30% to apple?
- daveidol 5y agoThis is only allowed for "non-digital" goods - otherwise if you distribute in the App Store. Hell, you can't even link to or mention that it would be possible to pay anywhere else.
- anaisbetts 5y agoBecause if you do this, and you do not have an explicit exception (carriers being one of them), your app will be removed from the store
- kmlx 5y agoah, so the carriers are exempted, interesting, thanks. so i guess the other route is what most companies do: webapp…
- yurishimo 5y agoIf they are following apple's rules, yes, that is what they want. If they catch you trying to skirt it, your app gets pulled from the store until you "fix" it.
- Spivak 5y agoNo, the 30% commission is for digital goods (i.e. goods to be consumed on the phone -- game "coins", ebooks, music, movies, comics, app features). The things that Apple takes a cut for is actually pretty small in the grand scheme of commerce.
