[ad_1]
WordPress CEO Matt Mullenweg lashed out at Apple for forcing it to monetise the free WordPress app, so that Apple could make its 30% cut. The deal was simple: WordPress needed to provide in-app payment plans and only then Apple would approve updates to the app. But Apple is backing off now by saying that the “issue with WordPress” has been resolved and WordPress continues to be a free app. Not providing updates to the iOS app is not an option for WordPress, because it would need to at least provide bug fixes. But to do so, Apple wanted WordPress to include in-app payments, else it…

Apple apologises to WordPress, restores all updates.
Apple has apologised for cutting off updates to the WordPress app on its App Store after its Founder Matt Mullenweg said the Cupertino-based iPhone maker will not approve updates until his app includes in-app payment options. Mullenweg had accused Apple of cutting off the ability to update the app to get its 30 per cent fee on the App Store, and the Internet erupted in the favour of a platform that lets people build and manage websites and blogs for free, and also sells domain names.
But one afternoon and evening of surprise and outrage later, Apple is backing off. The company is issuing a rare on-the-record apology, and it says that WordPress will no longer have to add in-app purchases now that all is said and done.
Here’s Apple’s full statement:
We believe the issue with the WordPress app has been resolved….

Apple blocked updates to the WordPress blogging app until it added in-app payments for plan upgrades so that Apple can receive a 30 percent cut.
“Heads up on why WordPress for iOS updates have been absent,” WordPress’s Matt Mullenweg tweeted. “We were locked by [the Apple] App Store. To be able to ship updates and bug fixes again we had to commit to support[ing] in-app purchases for .com plans.”
Yes, it’s gotten this silly: In the past, Apple simply allowed services with free and paid options to not advertise the paid options inside their apps. But now Apple is going after…
