The App Store Online Activity Commission, which has been the subject of criticism for Apple recently, has now been reset.
Apple required a 30 percent payment commission from businesses that host online events through the App Store. The US tech giant could not stand the pressure and the App Store online activity commission was reset.
Apple reversed its App Store policy in line with a decision it took the other day, and announced that it would not receive commission from online events held on the App Store. Previously, companies such as Facebook and Airbnb opposed Apple to receive this commission.
Stating that it has reset commissions for three months to enable businesses to make money in the COVID-19 outbreak, Apple will not deduct tickets from online events organized during this period. Let us remind you that Facebook was the first to decide not to charge commission from event fees.
In August, Facebook told Apple to reset the in-app purchase commission for events . This would allow all proceeds to go to business owners, but Apple refused to do so and continued to receive commissions on events that went on sale in the App Store.
Facebook isn't the only company complaining about App Store commissions. Last week , the Coalition for App Fairness coalition, founded by Epic Games and Spotify, also opposed App Store commissions, claiming that Apple made unfair gains. On the Google Play Store side, let's remind you that there is no such complaint for now.
