- TylerE 3y agoYou do not owe royalties to Apple unless your app is either A: non-free or B: on another store.
- kevingadd 3y agoThe install fee applies to free applications.
- TylerE 3y agoNo it doesn't. Not unless you opt into the new agreement, which a free app would have zero reason to do so, as the whole reason would be to pay reduced commission, which is irrelevant.
- pritambaral 3y ago> ... the whole reason would be to pay reduced commission Citation needed. I use F-Droid not because I want the devs of the apps I install from there to be free of the Google Play Tax. I use it so I can be free of Google Play.
- TylerE 3y agoWhat does that have to do with the iOS ecosystem?
- johnnyanmac 3y agoAn app that wants to be free fro the Google play ecosystem can do so without paying Google. An app that wants to be free from the App Store needs to pay Apple, or set up a company as a non-profit. You see the parallels and why "I-Droid" won't be a sustainable store?
