The position of Spotify face rules that Apple has been using to reject the updates of your application, it was clear: they accused the company of wanting to stop the competition and get space for Apple Music
<. p> But Apple would not let the matter cool and responded to Spotify with reason to be taking this position. The war has sharpened and can not have an end in sight!
After Spotify have been public complain of Apple’s stance in the face of updates that have pending its application it was the turn of the Cupertino company give reasons and defend against all charges. The main complaint was even coming to public Spotify and complaints of this.
We find it troubling That You are asking for exemptions to the rules we apply to all developers and are publicly Resorting to rumors and half-truths about our service.
This is only the first part of the response letter that counsel for Apple sent to Spotify, to try to clarify all exchange of arguments.
reasons Apple to reject Spotify
as the information disseminated, everything focuses on the will of Spotify to remove the subscription from your service App Store, something that Apple has as required. This is where Apple is beating to reject the approval of the Spotify app.
Shortly after Spotify Submitted its app on May 26, our team identified a number of issues , including que the in-app purchase feature had Been removed and Replaced with an account sign-up feature Clearly intended to circumvent Apple’s in-app purchase rules. That feature exists only for the purpose of Avoiding having to pay Apple for your use of the App Store by customers emailing Within hours, directing Them to subscribe to Spotify on its website. The clear Violation of the terms every other developer adheres to.
The idea of Spotify is that by removing the App Store subscription service, can save users $ 3, which is the rate Apple charges.
The recurrence of Spotify and disrespect for the rules
There is also reference to some measures that Spotify has taken to get around the registry in your service, even after they have been advised by Apple to break the established rules.
During a number of discussions between our team and Spotify, we Explained why this sign-up feature did not comply with our guidelines and requested you resubmit the compliant version of the app. On June 10, Spotify Submitted another version of the app Which again incorporated the sign-up feature directing App Store customers to submit an email address so They Could be Contacted directly by Spotify in a continued attempt to get around our guidelines. Spotify’s was again rejected app for Attempting to circumvent in-app purchase rules, and not, as you claim, because Spotify was simply seeking to communicate with its customers.
Here’s what Apple does now its defense and which tries to show that Spotify’s stance has been less correct, looking for a way to circumvent the rules imposed and that all developers of the App Store are using.
Apple wants to collaborate with Spotify
the response letter Apple ends with a lighter tone and aim at Spotify will have a preferential treatment from Apple. It remains to note that Apple will have no problem in approving the concerned app, so this complies with the rules set by Apple for all programmers.
Ironically, it is now Spotify que wants things to be different by asking for preferential treatment from Apple.
As far as I can see the Spotify App Currently up on the App Store is still in Violation of our guidelines. I would be happy to Facilitate an expeditious review and approval of your app as soon as you Provide us with something que is compliant with the App Store’s rules.
This is a theme that is yet to solve. Spotify wants to end the 30% that Apple charges for registration for its services and Apple, of course, does not want to give up the same.
