Apple announces the launch of Subscriptions on the App Store and firmly establishes the Apple Ratio; 70:30.
It would’ve made more sense for everyone if Apple say that any Apps must include the In-App-Purchasing option if it has an Put-Of-App-Purchasing option. The same goes with subscriptions. I’m pretty sure there will be a lot of arguments to be made here.
