My guess is the income from a reduced subset of apps offsets special maintenance for only those parts of the old SDKs which that subset uses. Likely as a cost saving measure. Apple may even ask for support contracts beyond some point, to motivate those apps to update too.
- lapcat 4y ago> My guess is the income from a reduced subset of apps offsets special maintenance for only those parts of the old SDKs which that subset uses. Again, a guess based on zero empirical evidence. Also, Apple's "rule" here makes no distinction between paid and free apps. Indeed, free apps tend to have more downloads than paid apps, which means that Apple would be targeting the wrong apps if they were looking to offset costs.
- paulryanrogers 4y agoDo the free apps not have in app purchases? Or ad revenue which must be shared with Apple?
- lapcat 4y agoSome do, some don't. Why are you asking me, have you not ever seen the App Store?
- paulryanrogers 4y agoNot in many years
- scarface74 4y agoAd revenue is never shared with Apple in third party apps .
