Thanks for the reply guys. I really can't believe this. 10 months ago, I contacted Apple Pay (since you can't talk to App Review until you submit an app), and they told me that since I was a cross-platform "service", I could choose any merchant that I wanted. Now I am being told that I cannot make a payment inside of the app without in-app purchase, and now you guys are suggesting that if I redirect them to my website to create their account there, that Apple probably won't allow this either. This just feels like highway robbery.
The government is going to take 40% Apple is going to take 30% Overhead for the business is %10 - %15 Leaving me with a measely %15!!!! Hardly seems worth all the effort! Stripe was only going to charge me like 4%, which would leave me with 41%. How is it even legal that Apple can charge for 30% of everything done in an app when most financial services are between 4-6%, and there hasn't been a class-action lawsuit? Are you sure that you can't get around this if a user signs up on your website to create and manage their account, and then just logs into an app from the app store? I was told this was perfectly acceptable if you were a service and you were not simply targeting iOS devices but were cross-platform. -- Sent from: http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/
