Among the developers who submitted applications for the app store small Developer program before 10:00 a.m. Pacific time on December 18, the approved email has been received. That is, from January 1, 2021, the revenue generated through paid apps and in app purchases will enjoy a 15% discount


In addition to notifying the developer of the privilege, two situations are mentioned in the email:
1. If the developer's income exceeds US $1 million in 2021, then the income beyond the later period will be charged as standard Commission (30%);
2. If the application transfer is carried out or accepted after December 31, 2020, the developer will lose the benefit of reducing the commission charge.
If you have already obtained the preferential qualification, you need to pay special attention to the time of application transfer to avoid the invalidation of the rights of commission deduction.
