Apple rejects Facebook app that tells users that Apple takes 30% cut of in-app purchases
Earlier this month, Facebook launched the feature that lets businesses host paid online events in an effort to renew some of the business lost due to Covid-19.
Facebook asked Apple to reduce its 30% App Store cut, since it wanted all of the money to go directly to the small businesses, but was rejected.
Facebook said that if users make the same purchase elsewhere, whether on the web or through the app on an Android phone, small businesses will keep 100% of the revenue.
Epic Games, for example, tested Apple's policyby sidestepping the 30% rule in an update to its hit game Fortnite, and thensued after Apple removed the game from the App Store.
Apple has argued that it tries to keep a level playing field for all developers and that it takes a standard 30% cut from all in-app purchases.
