Apple Updates App Store Guidelines With Enforced Rules Against Low-Effort Apps
Within the App Store Guidelines support page, Apple urges developers not to "submit apps that are indistinguishable from what's already widely available."
Apple Features Apps that Allow You to “Buy with Apple Pay”
With the expansion of Apple Pay to all of Canada’s ‘Big 5’ banks, the App Store has a new featured section called ‘Buy with Apple Pay’, highlighting apps that support in-app purchases with the mobile wallet.
The following apps are listed for now:
- Starbucks
- Impressed
- Kickstarter
- Groupon
- Fancy
- SeatGeek
- Beyond the Rack
- Touch of Modern
- Hotel Tonight
- 1-800-Flowers
- Touchnote
- Etsy
- Gametime
Apple Pay in-app purchases means you can authorize a purchase with just Touch ID, and your shipping address and more will be automatically filled out. No more whipping out your credit card, or launching 1Password to get your payment details, or filling out forms.
On your iOS device, go to: Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay > Shipping Address and ensure you have a default address, phone number and email filled out.
Let us know what other iOS apps you’re using for in-app purchases with Apple Pay.
