Apple complies with Dutch ruling, lets dating apps use other payment systems
To provide more insight, this is what the process is:<p>* There are two new entitlements related to this, which you ask Apple to give you if you&#x27;re a dating app.<p>* Once you get the entitlements, you need to create a new version of your app (it cannot be the same as your international one) that will ship <i>exclusively</i> in the Netherlands with that entitlement.<p>* Details of how this entitlement work will come at a later date.<p>* Apple will still charge a commission on these purchases, the details of which will also come at a later date.<p>* It is your privilege&#x2F;responsibility to conflict resolution with regards to refunds and such.<p>In essence, Apple complied with the law in the narrowest terms they could, but they did indeed change things and I suspect many companies will go through this process even if it&#x27;s made somewhat inconvenient. I guess what remains to be seen is if these entitlements slowly get rolled out in other countries as they also enact legislation to require it.
