Apple Opposes Mentions of External Payment Options in Russia
Apple is undertaking legal action in Russia to prevent developers from promoting alternative payment methods for in-app purchases that bypass the company’s payment system, RT reports.
Apple’s lawsuit attempts to challenge Russia’s Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) and the request it made to the company in August to “stop abuse in the market.” The FAS’s request would allow developers to inform users about alternative payment options for in-app purchases, but Apple is seeking to have this withdrawn by judicial review.
