Maybe this has already been answered in a downstream thread, but I think it deserves its own thread... For applications delivered via a 3rd party store, how is Apple going to (a) identify them, and (b) count their installs so that it can charge its 0.50 per install fee?

They'll put that as a requirement to get notarized ans spin some yarn how that is required to maintain "basic security". I hope the EU will put an end to that real quick.

From the press release > Notarization for iOS apps — a baseline review that applies to all apps, regardless of their distribution channel, focused on platform integrity and protecting users. Notarization involves a combination of automated checks and human review Shouldn’t it be pretty trivial to track installs of Apple is notarizing every app? Even if the installs are from other sources?
