Apple Partner Programme Cuts App Store Fees For Mini App Makers

Apple has introduced a new Mini Apps Partner Programme that halves App Store commissions for qualifying mini apps to 15 percent, marking a significant shift in how Apple wants developers to build and monetise app-within-app experiences.

A New Approach To App Store Revenue

Apple has announced that developers who host mini apps inside a larger iOS or iPadOS app can now qualify for a reduced 15 percent commission on digital purchases made within those mini apps. Mini apps are small, self-contained experiences built using web technologies such as HTML5 and JavaScript. They run inside a host app rather than being downloaded as separate apps from the App Store.
