It’s been a few chaotic days for digital application stores that provide all types of smartphone content. Apple has just announced completion with US developers. The Most Significant Change App Store that comes out of it allows developers to collect contact information from the application. Then the South Korean Parliament Member issued a bill that would forbade Apple and Google from forcing the application to use the payment system in their application. Finally, Apple completed the antitrust case with the Japanese Fair Trade Commission (JFTC). It will bring significant changes to the “Reader” application Application App Store such as Netflix, Spotify, and others function.
Apple announced JFTC closed the App Store investigation in a press release. Separately, the Japanese regulator issued an announcement that confirmed the agreement.
Settlement will only have an impact on the reader application, the customer used to access content that requires membership or subscription. This application does not display purchases in applications, but they are useless without accounts and active subscriptions. Such applications include Netflix and all video streaming applications, Spotify applications and music streaming, and Kindle and e-book reader applications.
What are the facilities for changing new application stores for your Netflix experience
Apple agreed to allow this reader application to display a single link in their iPhone application. Users will be able to visit the developer website to register.
For example, applications like Netflix can now offer a link to the Netflix website. Users can access them to get new subscriptions. The Netflix application only allows you to enter your current account. This gateway will allow buyers to buy new subscription directly from Netflix, past the App Store commission.
Again, it’s not just Netflix who will see the impact. The new App Store rule will affect all streamers – Apple explains:
To ensure a safe and seamless user experience, the App Store guidelines require developers to sell digital services and subscribe to using payment systems in Apple applications. Because reader application developers do not offer digital goods and digital services in the application, Apple agrees with JFTC to let this application developer share a single link to their website to help users organize and manage their accounts.
New rules only affect new customers
If you have an active subscription with streaming services, you might not see any changes.
But if you are a new Netflix user who downloaded the application from the App Store on the iPhone and iPad, you will find a link that lets you register for services from the Netflix website.
Changes will take effect at the beginning of 2022, Apple said. Guidelines and the App Store review process will receive updates for “Make sure the reader’s application users continue to have safe experience in the App Store.”
