It gets worse: some 30% of that money is in Apple's pocket, but 100% of the refund comes from the developer.
Apple gets to keep their cut even after the refund, as per the developer contract, even though the reason for the refunds is because of Apple blocking further deployments from the developer.
Harsh circumstances.
- jws 17y agoI think you are misinformed. Some people read the developer agreement this way and trumpeted loudly, and it is a fair interpretation, but as I understand it Apple only retrieves the 70% they paid the developers from the developers. See http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10205293-37.html http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10205293-37.html and skip down to the "Updated 4:00 p.m." at the bottom of the article where the journalist adds the response from Apple's representative. Are there sources where developers document being charged 100%?
- DougBTX 17y agoThat does sound much more sane, good to know. I guess any increase in returns from this Google Voice palaver will get highlighted if more than the 70% is taken from the developer's account.
