Apple, carried out with App developers: they will be able to get paid outside the Store

by admin

MILANO – Hand extended to iPhone App developers: Apple, cornered by a class action, will allow them to offer their customers payment methods outside the Cupertino App Store. This is a radical change, but one that responds to a series of disputes with authorities and many companies over its approach to competition and on a commission system that generates billions of dollars of flow for the coffers of the company led by Tim Cook.

“With this agreement, developers can share offers to users outside the iOs system,” the group said. Specifically, the owners of the App will be able to use the user data (with their consent) held by Apple to send them an e-mail and inform them that they can purchase a subscription, for example, through their website. In this case, the publisher of the Application is able to channel the payment from the user on a system that does not pay a commission to Apple.

Apple calls publishers: “Inside News the best of global journalism”

Well-known streaming services like Spotify or Netflix were already bypassing the fee by not offering the option to subscribe through the App. But they couldn’t direct them to their website. The grant is part of a preliminary settlement of a nearly two-year lawsuit filed on behalf of iPhone app developers in the United States.

It also addresses an issue raised by a federal court judge who is expected to issue a decision soon in a separate case brought forward by Epic Games, producer of the popular video game Fortnite, which accuses apple of abusing its dominant position.

Under the old rules, iPhone App manufacturers were forbidden to send emails to users with information on how to pay for services outside the App, thus evading Apple’s commissions that reach 30% and which in recent times are been halved to 15% for smaller developers, who do not manage to generate 1 million in revenue.

Apple will also set up a $ 100 million fund to pay thousands of App developers: as the Wall Street Journal details, the Small Developer Assistance Fund will allow application publishers who between 2015 and 2021 have achieved sales of less than one million per year. collect between 250 and 30 thousand dollars, covering – according to the case papers – 99% of the audience. The deal must now be approved by Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers.
