Apple Apologises To WordPress For Forcing It To Monetise On iOS Store ...... #apple #wordpressblogger . #ios #appstore #iosstore #wordpress #mattmullenweg #digitalstore #bloggerstyle #edesontechnologynews #ecommerce WordPress' founder said on Friday that Apple was refusing to allow any updates to the WordPress iOS app until the website builder added in-app purchases, from which Apple takes a commission of 15% to 30%. Apple is in a fierce fight with developers including Spotify and Epic Games, the maker of "Fortnite," over its rules about in-app purchases. Apple has backed down in its latest skirmish with a developer over its App Store rules. The tech giant on Sunday issued a rare apology to WordPress after it pressured the website builder to add payment options to its free iOS app to avoid being blocked from updating. "We believe the issue with the WordPress app has been resolved,"Apple told The Verge . "Since the developer removed the display of their service payment options from the app, it is now a free stand-alone app and does not have to offer in-app purchases. We have informed the developer and apologize for any confusion that we have caused." Matt Mullenweg, WordPress' founding developer, tweeted on Friday that Apple had locked the app out from making any updates. Mullenweg later told The Verge that he had been forced to add the option of in-app purchases, meaning Apple would get a cut of those payments . Mullenweg tweeted about Apple's U-turn on Sunday, saying WordPress would no longer be forced to include in-app purchases. Apple's rules about in-app payments are at the center of a fight with developers. Developers are obliged to use Apple's payment system, which automatically takes a 15% to 30% cut of payments.
