  • Judge orders Apple can't block Epic's Unreal Engine, Fortnite to remain banned

    Apple should be.free to charge any percentage they see fit, or to not charge a perecentage and just charge every developer  £10,000 per app submission. The Apple way is the way that favours consumers, it has driven the price of software to the floor.

    My understanding was that Apple was going to pull Epic’s enterprise developer account for violating terms of the enterprise account agreement. 

    If so, the problem with what the judge has done is that it leaves the question of when and how Apple can enforce it’s agreements with ALL enterprise customers. Does this mean all enterprise developers that have third party customers themselves can safely ignore the enterprise agreement and do whatever they like? I.e. enterprise accounts are for deploying applications within the enterprise organisation and are not for distributing applications to third parties. Can enterprise developers now violate this fundamental agreement without worry?

    I don’t expect Epic’s partial win to last long, Epic may have temporarily swayed the judge by conflating the two separate issues (Fortnite and Unreal) but I expect sanity to prevail eventually.

  • Epic calls Apple's 'Fortnite' & developer tool block 'overbroad retaliation'

    If Apple don’t get the result they want they should just ban all in-app purchases in all games.

  • Apple blocked WordPress for iOS updates until it agreed to in-app purchases [u]

    Okay. 
    This app is for manipulating digital content (web-sites) within the app itself. 
    Purchasing things from this app to use in this app (domains etc) is no different to buying virtual currency in a game.
    If you buy a new domain to create a new website in this app, that is no different to buying bricks and building a house in a game.
    So IAP are necessary. This is obvious and clearly spelled out in the developer agreement.
    Sounds like the developers of this app wanted to link to outside the app (like Epic did) for digital product purchases.
    They may have been doing it for a while without being noticed, maybe not.
    The developer needs to either stop selling digital content from within the app or adhere to the rules like everyone else.
