Missed this Patreon blog post from last month on accounting for Apple’s 30% cut:

Apple is requiring us to start using their in-app payment system in order for Patreon to remain available in the App Store, which means purchases made from our iOS app will be subject to Apple’s 30% App Store fee.

The default setting will be that users on iOS will have to pay more than on the web to cover this fee. And last week we had the Hey Calendar rejection. Strange that Apple is tightening the screws with the EU’s Digital Markers Act waiting in the wings.

@manton I don’t think there doing anything differently. They don’t care who you are - you must pay the piper.

I thought Ben Thompson’s take on Dithering was pretty good. They might want to continue to show that they’re treating all developers equally. Google got slammed recently by playing favorites and backdoor deals. I don’t know how that plays into the EU’s DMA, but maybe Google’s outcome with Epic spooked them.

But I still have the possibility to subscribe via the Patreon Website for a lesser fee?
