App Store and CloudKit Public Database
There are many discussions about the 30% fee Apple charges for the App Store. This fee is significant, and its benefits are not immediately clear. The complaints primarily come from large companies like Epic Games, Spotify, and Netflix, which have the resources to challenge Apple. However, what about indie developers? What do we receive in return for this 30% fee, and are we genuinely upset about it? In practice, when I price my applications, I understand that charging $10 means I will receive $7. To obtain $10, I would need to set the price at $14. It’s as straightforward as that.
