Nuked Apple blocked Facebook from informing users that Apple would collect 30 percent of in-app purchases made through a planned new feature. Apple said the update violated an app store rule that does n’t let developers show’irrelevant’ information to users.
Facebook says it asked Apple to waive this fee so that all of the revenue could go to event organizers. The feature is now available, but without the message about Apple’s 30-percent cut.
Earlier this month, Facebook released an image showing what the message would look like in the app’s app. The image shows what the messages would appear like.
The message was expected to read’Facebook does n’t take a fee from this purchase’. The message does n’t show up in the version of the app downloaded through Google Play.
‘Apple rejected our transparency notice around their 30-percent tax but we are still working to make that information available inside the app experience’.
Apple has been strict on apps that try to explain app store policies. Apps like Netflix, Kindle, and Spotify are n’t allowed to mention that users could pay on the web without Apple taking a cut.
