In the past few days, Apple stopped updates to the WordPress application on the App Store and banned the application, as it did with the game Fortnite and other applications, but the ban caused a brilliant controversy, particularly since the application of the blogging platform does not work with the same tired mechanism from remainder of the applications, which the company considers as a violation of the store policy .
The fantastic controversy over banning the application contributed to its return to the App Store and Apple’s submission of an official apology for the confusion caused by the deletion.
The American company confirmed that it will not force WordPress to add the option to pay in the application through the App Store portal because it will not need to.
Normally, Apple forces all applications that provide paid services such as the application of broadcasting content or providing services, most notably Netflix, Spotify, Disney Plus and games such as Fortnite, to activate the option to pay through the store and thus obtain 30% of the value of fees and purchases, which some companies reject as being You see it as a high percentage, and Apple is also blocking any app that comes with subscriptions and offers the feature of paying through an outside gateway.
Recently, there was the story of the ban on the game Fortnite in which Epic Games demanded to change the policy of the monopolistic and arrogant App Store.
After that, many companies joined the campaign that Epic Games is running to reduce the amounts that Apple deducts from the value of subscriptions from games and applications.
But unlike those apps, WordPress comes for free, but it offers in-house services from the company for a fee and without violating Apple policy.
