Apple (AAPL. US) apologizes: WordPress does not need to add in app purchase function, aapple id

It was learned that Apple (AAPL. US) withdrew its previous decision on Saturday (August 22) and no longer forced WordPress, a popular blog platform, to add in purchase functions to its applications.

It is reported that previously, WordPress said that Apple had notified it to add in app purchase options within 30 days. In this way, Apple can draw 30% of the share when developers purchase WordPress.com packages through applications. Some media pointed out that the App Store accounts for a high proportion of Apple's annual revenue of up to $50 billion.

This matter has aroused heated discussion on the Internet. Later, Apple issued a statement saying: "We believe that the problem with the WordPress application has been solved. Since developers no longer display their service payment options in the application, they can now keep the independent application and do not need to add the in app purchase function. We have also notified the developers and apologized for the inconvenience."

This will help ease the increasingly tense relationship between Apple and developers, some of whom have chosen to support Epic Games because of the conflict between Apple and Epic Games on the charge issue. It is reported that on August 13, Epic Games introduced a new payment method, that is, users can pay directly to the company instead of purchasing services through the Apple Store. Apple removed the game Fortnite from the Apple Store, saying it violated the guidelines issued by the company.
