Apple has been repeatedly condemned for charging too high a fee for conducting monetary transactions in applications from the App
What does it mean
Facebook recently called on Apple to eliminate its fees.for paid events to support users during the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, for conducting online training or concerts. Then the company refused, but now has changed its mind.
Thus, Apple decided not to charge30% commission from payments for online events that a business organizes through Facebook tools. A similar exception was made for other developers, for example, Airbnb and the training service ClassPass.
But for game developers the commission remains. Apple believes that its business has not been greatly affected by the coronavirus.
“Apple has agreed to provide a short three-month respite, after which struggling businesses will have to pay Apple the full 30% again,” Facebook said.
Let us remind you that recently a “Coalition” was even createdfor App Fairness” (Coalition for App Fairness), which aims to protect the rights of developers to create applications and do business directly with their customers. The coalition already includes Epic Games, Spotify, Match Group (owner of Tinder), Basecamp, Tile, Deezer, etc.
