He is implying you can't use alternative payment methods for an iOS app, which just isn't true. He is probably not an iOS developer, and he just misunderstood the media coverage.
- drivebyacct2 15y agoDoes Section 11.2 not prohibit the publishing of apps that use in app payment processes other than Apple's IAP? If I'm mistaken, I'd be interested to be told how. You are right, I'm not an iOS developer and I will accept downvotes for the snarky sarcasm, but I believe my core assumption to be true. If not, please forgive my ignorance and point me in the right direction.
- andrewljohnson 15y agoThere are a number of ways that you can sell app add-ons and subscriptions without using Apple's system. Hundreds, if not thousands of apps, such as Kindle and NetFlix, use alternate methods.
- drivebyacct2 15y agoI think you need to check your facts. Amazon's Kindle app and BN's Nook apps were updated to remove in app purchases and completely remove all links to the Kindle web store even from the application [1]. Same with Spotify and Rhapsody [2] and WSJ [3] and Hulu [4] (Okay, that's enough links).
