patreon app store.
Is apple still blocking apps from telling users they can subscribe outside of the app store?
I.e A message on check out that says "You can save 30% if you subscribe directly the website. Apple charges a 30% processing fee for using Apple subscriptions, please just subscribe on the website."
I believe this is related to that, yeah.
I wonder how quickly Apple would come up with new bullshit if apps started providing an interstitial page with a breakdown.
Membership (goes to creator): $4.75
Patreon fee: $0.25
Fee for using iOS (goes to Apple): $1.50
--
Total: $6.50

So if I read that correctly, Apple wants a cut from Patreon's iOS app, not all Patreon creetors that have iOS apps. People still have the option of contributing to Patreon directly via their website, or even their mobile website.
