While there are no commissions for alternative app marketplaces and alternative payment systems, there is a Core Technology Fee that is. Developers can integrate an alternative payment processor into their app that allows a user to make a purchase and check out entirely in an app, or developers can link out to their websites where users can make a purchase. This includes distribution through multiple alternative app marketplaces or through both the ‌App Store‌ and an app marketplace.Īpps installed through alternative app stores will need to go through a notarization process that includes safety and security checks, which is how Mac apps work.Īpple will not charge a commission on apps installed through alternative marketplaces, nor will it charge commission for alternative payment systems, which are also allowed under the ‌App Store‌ updates in the European Union. In the EU, when an app developer submits an app to Apple for distribution, they can choose the ‌App Store‌ or any alternative app marketplaces. Apple is creating new APIs to build marketplaces on iOS to distribute apps to users. Any developer can create an app marketplace, so long as they meet Apple's criteria for customer experience, fraud prevention, customer support, and more. Alternative app marketplaces will function as an iOS app that is able to install other iOS apps on an ‌iPhone‌ or ‌iPad‌. Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos.
