Will Apple approve apps that allow this kind of payment? I guess it uses Apple Pay so maybe that's ok, but does Apple then also take a cut? #fortnite

@chrismessina Hey Chris, thanks for your message! I have two applications submitted with the framework, I'll let you know if they have been approved! Indeed that's the perfect day to ask question about Apple policy! I hope Apple Pay will convince them!
@chrismessina I took a look at the App Store Review Guidelines and found this in 3.2.1:
(vii) Apps may enable individual users to give a monetary gift to another individual without using in-app purchase, provided that (a) the gift is a completely optional choice by the giver, and (b) 100% of the funds go to the receiver of the gift. However, a gift that is connected to or associated at any point in time with receiving digital content or services must use in-app purchase.
@benxedel Hey Ben! The button can be configured by setting font, color and title, according to Buy Me a Coffee styleguide (9 colors & 3 fonts).
We are currently working on the Swift UI implementation, I'll let you know when it is available!
Thanks @_piacortez, @aleesha_john, @liyasthomas, @vidhya_dilip, @varundaso, @vishnu_r_nair & @joseph_sunny for making Buy Me A Coffee 2.0 đ§Ąâïž
Looks great. Thanks very much! I implemented it into my app. Can I test the Apple Pay (using the button, not the fallback BMC web interface) as well with a test version via TestFlight, or does it need to be an App Store approved release?
@georges_heinesch Het Georges! Thanks for your feedback! You can easily test it with a TestFlight version without being charged :)
@frboulais I got it cleared now for testing, but it falls back to the web flow. Do I (1.) need some additional code dealing with payments in my app, (2.) do I need to do something on my App Store Connect account (e.g. creating a sandbox user), or do I have to do something additional in my BMC account (I have PayPal enabled, not Stripe) ... ? I believe I miss something?!
@georges_heinesch Iâll release a new version with more logs so it will be easier to debug. In-App Purchases can be a bit tricky to configure.
Have you filled all the « Billing » documents on App Store Connect? I think itâs required.
If you want, letâs contact me at francois@appcraftstudio.com or DM on Twitter (@frboulais) so we can figure it out together :)
@frboulais Will do. Many thanks for your help.
UPDATE: You were right! The Agreements, Tax and Banking data in App Store Connect was incomplete for Paid Apps. After having the green "Active", I don't fallback to the BMC web flow anymore. However I see for my sandboxed payment view the button "Purchase" to confirm payment, i.s.o. the double-click side button confirmation method.
A great product to empower more and more creators! Loved the spirit! đđ»
