The app is ready for testing Apple’s new rules

Patreon and Proton are preparing changes to allow creators to accept payments outside of Apple’s IAP system: A follow-up to Epic Games v. Apple

Patreon is planning to submit an update to its iOS app that will let creators accept payments outside of Apple’s payment system, spokesperson Adiya Taylor tells The Verge. The planned update follows yesterday’s major Epic Games v. Apple ruling that blocks Apple from collecting fees on payments made outside of apps.

When Apple first announced its IAP requirements, they shared three principles to guide their decision on how to move forward: transparency, control, and stability. We will continue to keep creators and fans updated on any changes we make, as we explore further action we can take.

A company spokeswoman told The Verge that the company is preparing an update in response to the ruling. “Spotify will move quickly to submit an app update to Apple, enhancing the experience for our consumers across the United States,” spokesperson Jeanne Moran said. Proton is also planning changes, with CEO Andy Yen saying that it will “lower prices for users by up to 30 percent.”
