Sorry, I may have been unclear. If you've already paid outside of the native app Apple won't prevent users from accessing the content (Netflix is an example of this). The rule only applies to purchasing within the app itself. Apple requires that if your app allows a user to purchase digital goods it must be via an IAP. There's no restriction on users accessing content they've already payed for elsewhere. Somewhat related: It doesn't seem to be the case anymore but I have the distinct recollection of paying for Hulu through the iPad app as an IAP at a subscription price of $13.99/month only to discover Hulu was charging $11.99/month if purchased through their site. I think Apple cracked down on folks with different IAP pricing vs. direct subscription pricing, but for a while it was a very frustrating effect of the 30% cut that you're forced to give to Apple if you want to allow any in-app subscription on an Apple device. Edit: I was right, they just recently dropped it when they rolled out their redesign https://www.macrumors.com/2017/12/21/hulu-apple-itunes-billi... |
