Apple has revised its App Store Guidelines concerning external payments and links following a recent court decision in the Epic Games v. Apple case. The updated guidelines permit developers to direct users to external purchase options, deviating from previous restrictions that prohibited such actions. This change follows a ruling by Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, who asserted that Apple could not impose limitations on developers regarding external purchasing mechanisms or commissions on those transactions. Apple intends to comply with the ruling while pursuing an appeal, marking a significant shift in its app payment policies.
The App Review Guidelines have been updated for compliance with a United States court decision regarding buttons, external links, and other calls to action in apps.
The changes, spotted by 9to5Mac, allow developers to steer users outside Apple's App Store to make external purchases in compliance with the ruling.
