Apple has introduced a program to encourage the distribution of mini-apps on the App Store, halving the fees developers have to pay for in-app purchases.
As Apple explains on its news page, applets are “experiences built with web technologies like HTML5 and JavaScript and distributed within larger native apps.”
The company wants to support the development of these mini-applications, and to that end, it has introduced a new program that reduces fees to 15 percent, compared to the 30 percent fees app developers pay for integrated purchases on the App Store.
This means app developers “earn 85 percent of the revenue” as long as their programs meet a number of requirements, including being available on iOS and iPadOS and being compatible with App Store technologies such as the Declared Age Range API and Advanced Commerce API.
