Apple changes US App Store rules to let apps redirect users to their own websites for payments

Apple has changed the rules of its App Store in the United States to allow users to connect users with their websites so they can buy subscriptions or other digital goods.

This change has come to the fore after the US court has made a verdict in favor of epic sports in a case against the iPhone maker, and ordered the latter not to add features to apps that can direct users to their websites to make digital purchases.

Apple, “Apps have been updated to comply with the United States’ court decision on the buttocks, external links, and other calls for action in apps.” Said in a blog post.

The epic sports brought in 2020 are related to the legalization that Apple had the amount of control over the transaction in apps hosted at its app store. In 2021, the Game Studio won an order in which Apple was ordered to provide more options to the developers so that they could send users to their website so they could avoid paying 30 % kit to Tech Dev.

After failing its appeal against the order, Apple began to allow other apps to connect and use non -epic payment procedures last year, but it still included a 27 % commission, and it also included that critics are called “frightened screens”.

This week’s decision means that Apple should stop displaying these “frightened screens”, and the company has already removed the guidelines of the surrounding How should these screens and contacts have some special language.

We have asked Apple to confirm whether it will stop charging apps related to payments made by external links, and if we hear back, we will update this story.

As far as Apple is concerned, this decision is not happy. The company said in a statement, “We strictly disagree with this decision. We will obey the court order and we will appeal.”
