News Summary

Payments processing software provider Stripe has introduced a new solution to help iOS app developers bypass Apple’s App Store commission. This development follows a significant ruling in the Apple-Epic antitrust trial, where Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers criticized Apple for its refusal to permit external payment links in apps. Stripe has shared documentation that guides iOS developers on how to accept payments using Stripe outside of their apps. This allows developers to redirect customers to a secure Stripe-hosted payments page, avoiding Apple’s commission fees. The announcement has generated significant interest among developers, with many praising Stripe’s solution for enabling new business models on the App Store.
