This was expected. Apple's fluctuating terms and junk fees in different regions can't make any alternative marketplace sustainable. Setapp was one of the first alternative marketplaces in the EU. Their approach is solid and clever. It's disappointing to see them go. [image]

Apple settles with a Brazilian regulator to allow alternative app stores; report: Apple will charge a 5% fee for alt app stores and 15% on App Store link-outs

Brazilian regulators have approved a settlement that will require Apple to change how the App Store operates on iPhone in the country …

Wow, 15% for using <a>. That's in JUNK_FEES_3: “If an app directs users to pay outside the app using only static text, with no clickable link or button, Apple will not charge a fee. If the app includes a clickable button or link .., Apple will charge a 15% fee.”

Hello, this is a nice feature, I have a question about it: The Privacy Label of your iOS app shows that you collect identifiable usage data, diagnostics, and location.  In the privacy statement, you state that you add location data to the usage data and diagnostics.  When a user activates this new feature and grants 1Password access to location services, do you also use that access to add location data to the usage data and diagnostics in any form?  Thank you!

1Password now lets users add specific physical locations to items like passwords, which then show up in its mobile app's Nearby section when the user is close

For example, the feature will let users know a door's entry code when they get close to their workplace.  —  blog.1password.com/add-location...  [image] Corey Quinn / @quinnypig.co...

X appears to be blocking Signal's “Signal.me” links in DMs, posts, and profile pages, giving error messages and showing a warning page for users clicking them
