100% totally disagree. If you are engaging in a sales transactions, both parties should be given the opportunity to approve the sale.
- Veedrac 3y agoThe developer had the opportunity to approve when it put the app up for its list price. IMO it is easier to see why this is OK if you imagine Apple weren't tying a waiver for this fee to being unable to inform the user about alternate payment platforms. That tie is obviously anti-competitive but is therefore distracting.
- ratg13 3y agoOnce you put your code out there you can’t control who installs it. If someone gets my app package and puts it up on another App Store I can’t control, I would be getting charged for those installations and have little control over taking it down depending on the government hosting the servers hosting my stolen software.
