Apple won’t force WordPress app to offer in-app purchases

By Georgina Torbet Published August 24, 2020

Apple has backed down from its beef with WordPress, in which it tried to force the free iOS app to offer in-app purchases of which it gets a 30% cut. As reported by The Verge, Apple decided it will allow the WordPress app to continue to be available on the App Store without making in-app purchases obligatory.

“We believe the issue with the WordPress app has been resolved,” Apple said in a statement to Digital Trends. “Since the developer removed the display of their service payment options from the app, it is now a free stand-alone app and does not have to offer in-app purchases. We have informed the developer and apologize for any confusion that we have caused.”

The issue came to light this week when WordPress developer Matt Mullenweg tweeted that his app was locked out of the App Store until it allowed in-app purchases for domain registrations. The most recent version of the WordPress app was entirely free, and although WordPress does offer some paid services like domain registration through its desktop platform, these paid services were not available for purchase directly through the app.

An Apple spokesperson said the issue was that there was a payment plan section in the iOS app. And it is true that app users could technically get from the app’s help section to a webpage where they could purchase premium upgrades, but only by a fairly convoluted method. Mullenweg said he even offered to block access to the site from iOS devices, but Apple wouldn’t accept that.

Nevertheless, Mullenweg seems satisfied with the eventual outcome, writing on Twitter that, “I am very grateful that folks at Apple re-reviewed @WordPressiOS
and have let us know we do not need to implement in-app purchases to be able to continue to update the app.”

I am very grateful that folks at Apple re-reviewed @WordPressiOS and have let us know we do not need to implement in-app purchases to be able to continue to update the app. Bad news travels faster than good, usually, so please consider sharing that they reversed course.

It was a poor choice on Apple’s part to impose restrictions on a popular, free app which is commonly used by a large number of people and companies for managing their blogs, especially given the current focus on antitrust matters regarding Apple and whether it is acting fairly to third-party developers whose apps are available through its App Store.

Recently, the conflict over App Store apps boiled over when developer Epic Games announced that its hugely popular mobile game Fortnite was removed from the App Store and would no longer be available to download on iOS devices. The issue was that Epic allowed players to make purchases through the app but not through the official App Store in-app purchase system, sidestepping Apple’s cut of the payments. There is now legal action taking place between the two companies.

Update 23 August: Added statement from Apple and explanation of the payment plans section of the app.

You can easily change the left, right, top, and bottom margins in Google Docs and have a few different ways to do it.

What is Microsoft Teams? How to use the collaboration app

Online team collaboration is the new norm as companies spread their workforce across the globe. Gone are the days of primarily relying on group emails, as teams can now work together in real time using an instant chat-style interface, no matter where they are.

Using Microsoft Teams affords video conferencing, real-time discussions, document sharing and editing, and more for companies and corporations. It's one of many collaboration tools designed to bring company workers together in an online space. It’s not designed for communicating with family and friends, but for colleagues and clients.

Microsoft Word vs. Google Docs

For the last few decades, Microsoft Word has been the de facto standard for word processors across the working world. That's finally starting to shift, and it looks like one of Google's productivity apps is the heir apparent. The company's Google Docs solution (or to be specific, the integrated word processor) is cross-platform and interoperable, automatically syncs, is easily shareable, and perhaps best of all, is free.

However, using Google Docs proves it still has a long way to go before it can match all of Word's features -- Microsoft has been developing its word processor for over 30 years, after all, and millions still use Microsoft Word. Will Google Docs' low barrier to entry and cross-platform functionality win out? Let's break down each word processor in terms of features and capabilities to help you determine which is best for your needs.
How does each word processing program compare?
To put it lightly, Microsoft Word has an incredible advantage over Google Docs in terms of raw technical capability. From relatively humble beginnings in the 1980s, Microsoft has added new tools and options in each successive version. Most of the essential editing tools are available in Google Docs, but users who are used to Word will find it limited.
