In recent times, there has often been talk, in always quite bright tones, of the commissions that the big app stores, Google and Apple, require on the earnings generated by the apps they host on their stores. In this context, there is a novelty on the front of the Apple App Store.
The Cupertino company has just announced that will reduce the commissions required on the revenues generated by the dating apps on its store. The commissions will correspond to 27% , with a reduction that therefore corresponds to 3% compared to what Apple usually asks developers who use the App Store.
The novelty comes as an adjustment implemented by Apple in response to the recent ruling of the Dutch consumer authority , according to which Apple must allow payments via third party services made in dating apps. In this way, Apple will not be able to access the register of purchases, although it has clarified that the developers of these apps will have to provide to the Cupertino house of periodic reports on the matter. income collected.
Apple has complied with the ruling but in any case has not renounced to appeal . Therefore, the reduction in fees just announced by Apple could only be provisional in view of the final ruling.
