Spotify Apple’s recent US app is taking full advantage of store changes, and now it is possible for Spotify customers to look at audibook pricing and to shop using audiunties using a web view in the SPOTIFY app.
Spotify said today that Apple Approved its latest updateWhich includes audibook functionality. If you have been with controversies between Apple and Spotify over the years, you may remember that both companies fought back on audibook in 2022.
When Spotify added the first audibook to its app, Apple rejected the update three times as Spotify broke the rules how apps are allowed to communicate with users about buying options outside the AApp Store. Spotify wanted to send customers to buy books online to listen to the app, and at that time, Apple had a rule, which allowed customers to send emails about online purchase. Spotify’s email had a link to buy options, however, and Apple would not allow it.
Spotify eventually surrendered in 2022 and removed information about how to buy audibook from the Spotify app, and how the audibook has worked so far on Spotify. Usiapp store changes that Apple was ordered to apply the application to purchase options outside the application for apps, so Spotify is capable of distributing audiobooks the way it wanted in 2022.
When you tap on the audibook tab in the Spotify app and choose an audibook, the tapping on the lock icon on the audibook opens the website where the audibook can be purchased directly from the spotify, with no in-app purchase options. There is also an option to buy “top up” hours for the spotify premium customers, which is to listen to the audibook platform involved with spotify membership to 15 hours.
In a blog post, Spotify praised the court’s verdict, which allows for the US’s TheApp store.
This change reduces obstacles for more users to embrace its first or tenth – audibook, while allowing publishers and writers to reach fans and reach new audiences. This helps all developers to level the playground by allowing basic pricing information and an easy-to-front link to consumers, with any unnecessary steps to buy digital goods and services through iPhone or additional taxes levied by Apple. In short, this is a win everywhere for freedom writers, audiences and developers-the legal ruling stands despite Apple’s continuous efforts to stop it.
Spotify had earlier updated its app to allow spotify users to upgrade to a premium membership using the spotify website, to cut the purchase price without spotify.
Apple is appealing to the court’s decision, but for now, all app developers in the US are capable of submitting the app updated, which do not directly include in-app shopping systems for the in-app web view to shop.
