AppStore New Rules
Not sure if anyone one knew, but Apple has updated its policy to allow external purchasing of iOS apps. I’m curious to know if users would be willing to pay a few bucks less to purchase from the website rather than from the AppStore?

Already been doing this with Pianoteq, and it's good to have the option.
Really. Yea i recently found out about pianoteq, since i dont own it, i wasn’t aware until @McD clued me in.
Would everything basically be the same for the user? other than the obvious IAP purchase location change.
If there is basically no difference to the end result when using the app, I’m sure most would agree with wanting to save a few bucks.
I'd probably not bother. The App Store is easiest for my purposes.
I don't often buy a any higher priced apps, so the savings would be smaller in my case.
At least with Pianoteq it does mean a separate serial number / online activation process rather than seamless activation through the store, but it's not a big deal. I'd happily support anything that's better for developers. As we've just seen with IK Multimedia, this market is still more volatile than is ideal - and having more pro-level products succeed on iOS is important if it's to remain a viable production platform.

Oh guys guys, we have to change the title. Bill Maher's lawyers are PISSED!!
I think it would be smart for devs to use this opportunity to bring back affiliate links. When Apple dropped theirs in 2017, a lot of YouTubers left the scene, music tech press stopped covering iOS plugins etc. Having affiliate links would give devs an advantage and help this space thrive again, it would be very good for the scene.
Oooh…that is a good idea. That actually would work now. Our site is already setup for affiliate sales as well.
We already have the system setup to login, so just making the purchase would not be a problem.
We would have to figure out the authorization part, but yeah everything would be very similar.
The only new thing here is that Apple have been found to be in contempt of court and have been forced to implement the ruling that was initially made years ago during the Epic Games trial.
All the ruling does is allow apps to inform users that alternative ways of purchasing is available. For example, you’ve not been able to buy Netflix in app for a long time, at least for new users. Before Apple wouldn’t even let Netflix link to their website to let them know how to, or where to, purchase a subscription. Now they are no longer prohibited from doing this.
But they still can’t take payment in app unless it’s via Apple’s own system where Apple takes a cut. Any links must be to the default external browser, not in app.
If you’re in the US you still can’t purchase an app from a 3rd party store; that only exists in the EC and some other countries — Apple should just roll it out worldwide and have done with it! Let the customer decide.
Epic didn’t win. Fortnite is not back in the store. Fortnite was kicked out for offering its own in App Store. That still isn’t allowed.
So yeah. Now a button is allowed telling those of you in the US that you can purchase content externally. And that is basically it.
I prefer the simplicity of buying from the App Store. And the real value of the App Store is knowing you’re on the latest version of your software. It is not a minor annoyance having to check with half a dozen different developers every week to see if there are any updates for desktop (just did this yesterday with BLEASS and discovered there were 4 updates I was never informed about).
