"First install per year". So reinstalls after a year will be charged again. Honestly, it makes sense to charge for the bandwidth Apple provides. I'd rather see it broken out than baked into a 30% fee. Doing so would massively incentivize smaller binary sizes.
- ephemeral-life 3y ago> Honestly, it makes sense to charge for the bandwidth Apple provides The bandwidth that everyone is forced to use. The web has shown that decentralizing distribution is not only possible but works well. This is just another way for the worlds most profitable company to continue to rent seek.

- kmonsen 3y agoThis applies for other app stores so is not related to Apple bandwidth.
- johnnyanmac 3y agoExactly. People would conisder these alternative stores precisely so they don't have to rely on Apple's Bandwidth. But Apple apparently wants to get their money no matter how you host your app, and $100/seat/year is not enough money for them I suppose.
- _cenw 3y agoThe technology fee is for notarizing (thanks, nobody asked for this), phoning home during installs and supposedly the existence of Xcode?
- megous 3y ago$500000 per 20TB*average number of updates per year. On a 20MiB app is a great deal, for sure, lol. You get the same bandwidth on a $20-40/month VM.
