And supposedly, "steering must be free". Or at least that's what they told Apple when fining €500M, I think today they both charge up to about 20% commission if apps use third party payments.

Sounds like one of those "BIG HELPS" Trump tweeted about doing for Tim Apple in his retirement tribute, Brazil has been trying to get their fee-less payments on iPhone for nearly two years now to no avail. https://9to5m

If this is your situation then go back to your 9-5 or change your field if you can - consider the full journey between where you are right now to this SaaS actually sustaining you in-lieu of a job or career. The time frame on that journey

This is long overdue for games too, imagine how long a retail store would last if they let kids spend a thousand bucks no questions asked... but this is like a noble goal if it's an app or game.

This is the second time [1] that analytics in period apps have been problematic, and also follows the recent hack of MixPanel [2] exposing OpenAI usage data. Seems like 3rd-party analytics are becoming a new frontier for security issues. [
