Apple Reduces App Store Commissions in China Amid Regulatory Pressure Apple has announced that starting March 15, 2026, it will reduce its App Store commission rates in China. The standard rate for in-app purchases and paid app transactions will drop from 30% to 25%. Additionally, the Small Business Program and Mini Apps Partner Program, which cater to smaller developers and transactions within super apps, will see their rates fall from 15% to 12%. The reduced rate for subscriptions applies to auto-renewals after the first year. Developers will need to accept updated terms, although the new rates will be applied automatically. This move comes in response to ongoing regulatory scrutiny from Chinese authorities over the App Store’s commission structure, which has been a point of contention for several years. While Apple has publicly framed this as a regulatory compliance measure, it follows a period of international trade tensions, including tariffs imposed by the United States in 2025. It remains uncertain whether these rate adjustments will fully satisfy Chinese regulators or prevent further intervention in Apple’s operations. The change demonstrates Apple's willingness to adapt its business model in key international markets while maintaining a focus on supporting smaller developers through reduced fees.

Interesting topic regarding the differences between open web, open tech and open source and what it can mean for actual openness vs convenience. I haven't watched the video just yet, but as Chris (@codepo8@toot.cafe) is wise I have added it to my to-watch list […]

Epic Victory: Google Play's Walled Garden Opens Up & What It Means for Developers Epic Victory: Google Play's Walled Garden Opens Up & What It Means for Developers Episode Summary: In this episode of Upwardly Mobile, we dive deep into the landmark antitrust settlement between Epic Games and Google that is set to fundamentally reshape the Android app ecosystem globally. After years of legal battles sparked by Epic's "Project Liberty" and the removal of Fortnite from the Play Store, a jury found Google guilty of maintaining an illegal monopoly. We break down the newly announced March 2026 settlement, which significantly drops Play Store commission fees and introduces a game-changing "Registered App Stores" program. What does this mean for mobile developers, app revenue, and Android security? Tune in to find out! Brought to you by Approov: As Android opens its doors to third-party "Registered App Stores" and frictionless sideloading, ensuring your mobile app and APIs are protected from malicious clones and tampering is more critical than ever. Secure your mobile business and authenticate your apps natively with https://approov.com/. Key Topics Discussed: - The Origins of the Lawsuit: How Epic Games' Tim Sweeney bypassed Google's standard 30% fee by allowing direct purchases in Fortnite, leading to the game's removal and a massive antitrust lawsuit. - The Courtroom Battle: The revealing internal practices uncovered during the trial, including Google's "Project Hug" and millions of dollars spent to prevent developers from abandoning the Play Store. - The 2026 Settlement Details: How Google is dropping its standard Play Store commission to 20% for in-app purchases and 10% for recurring subscriptions. - Registered App Stores Program: A deep dive into Google's new framework that allows alternative Android app stores (like the Epic Games Store) to become "first-class citizens" on Android devices, removing the scary, "doom-laden" security pop-ups previously associated with sideloading. - Global Rollout Timeline: When these major fee changes and developer programs will go live, starting in the US, UK, and European Economic Area in June 2026, and expanding globally by September 2027. Source Materials & Further Reading: - TechCrunch: https://techcrunch.com/ - Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Epic_Games_v._Google&oldid=1338953412 Targeted SEO Keywords: Epic Games vs Google, Google Play Store settlement, Android app ecosystem, Registered App Stores program, mobile app development, third-party app stores, sideloading Android apps, app store commission fees, Tim Sweeney, Fortnite Android return, mobile app security, API protection.

My goals for my app were:

1. Solve my problem
2. Put it on the App Store because I thought it would be cool.
3. Maybe make some money from it.

Now that it’s built and launched I realize what I thought was the finish like was actually the staring line.
