Apple and its App Store policies have been deeply embroiled in controversy over the past few months. Engaged on multiple fronts, Cupertino has been making headlines in disputes with Epic Games and Facebook over in-app purchases, with a business model that doesn’t allow for any alternative (and legal) way to run apps that can bypass Apple’s 30% cut.
Accused of anti-competitive practices, Apple is also undergoing an investigation by the EU and faces similar pressure from Russia’s regulatory body. While Apple’s stance on distributing software through alternate means is unlikely to change, the company is making tweaks to App Store policies in order to address some of the developer complaints with the platform.
