Delta Adds External Purchase Link in US

John Voorhees:

Delta, the MacStories Selects App of the Year, received an important update today that allows users of the game emulator to support its development via Patreon from inside the app. Existing patrons can connect their Patreon accounts from Delta’s settings, too, allowing them to access perks like alternative app icons and experimental features.

This is a big deal that goes beyond the new features for Delta supporters. According to the app’s developer, Riley Testut, Delta is the first app he’s aware of in the U.S. App Store to include an in-app link that allows users to make purchases outside the App Store using Apple’s External Purchase Link Entitlement that was introduced in January.

I guess this is progress, but now Delta is responsible for regularly sending Apple a commission and financial reports.

You have to send Apple a commission on purchases they don't help you make? Nice!

This is protection money like in the mafia.


Also, won't Apple take 30% from the Patreon payments?
