Overview
- Apple is accepting applications through a request form for Apple Developer Program Account Holders, with setup instructions issued after approval.
- Host apps must be distributed on both iOS and iPadOS and must process payments through Apple's In‑App Purchase system.
- Participation requires support for the Advanced Commerce API plus the Declared Age Range API to deliver a consistent, age‑appropriate experience.
- The 15% rate applies to digital goods and services sold inside third‑party mini apps via the Advanced Commerce API, including consumables, non‑consumables, and subscriptions, while purchases shared across multiple mini apps do not qualify.
- Developers must provide a manifest and purchase metadata for every mini app, implement the Send Consumption Information endpoint for refunds, and comply with App Review Guideline 4.7 and the Developer Program License.
