You worked hard to build a great app. You registered a trademark. You signed up to Apple demands for 30% of your revenue as the sole way to reach iOS users. How does Apple reward you?

App Store ads expanding to Today tab and more

Apple is expanding its advertising business and adding two new ad slots to the App Store. Currently, the App Store has two ad slots: one on the main ‘Search’ tab and one in the Search results. The two new App Store ads announced today will bring advertisements to the App Store ‘Today’ homepage, as well as to individual app pages.

[…]

Developers won’t be able to target a specific application when bidding for product page ad placement. For instance, Twitter wouldn’t be able to target Tweetbot specifically. The ads, however, will be relevant for each of the product pages. This means you could (and probably will) see ads for direct competitors on app pages.

The future of Microsoft’s gaming business will remain anchored in its Xbox console, but its growth will increasingly look beyond the box itself towards devices potential gamers already own — namely phones, tablets, and PCs. 

Microsoft has already begun to support the Steam PC storefront in a big way, but it’s also banking heavily on Xbox Cloud Gaming, which streams games from a remote server location to Android devices, iOS devices via the web at Xbox.com/play, and even new Samsung TVs with its 2022 gaming hub update.

An update on Google Play billing in the EEA

Developers who choose to use an alternative billing system will need to meet appropriate user protection requirements, and service fees and conditions will continue to apply in order to support our investments in Android and Play. When a consumer uses an alternative billing system, the service fee the developer pays will be reduced by 3%. Since 99% of developers currently qualify for a service fee of 15% or less, those developers would pay a service fee of 12% or lower based on transactions through alternative billing for EEA users acquired through the Play platform.

Congratulations to Google, fast-following Apple to introduce fake open billing in Europe - “allowing” competing payment services but eliminating their ability to compete by demanding 27% of revenue.

A store that sells an app should not have any involvement in commerce that is conducted after the app is purchased. It’s like Ford forcing car buyers to buy gas at Ford gas station and inflating prices 30%. It’s none of their business.

When Mastercard and Visa process a credit card transaction, they charg 2.5% for the service they perform.

In this case, however, Google is NOT PERFORMING THE SERVICE they charge their 12% fee on.

Google annonce autoriser l’usage d’un système de paiement tiers sur les apps mobiles distribuées via Google Play sur… les deux territoires où cela est désormais légalement obligatoire.

Le patron d’Epic Games, qui se bat contre le duopole de Google et d’Apple au sujet des marges des deux principales boutiques mobiles, critique la part du paiement revenant quand même à Google.

Google considered buying ‘some or all’ of Epic during Fortnite clash, court documents say - The Verge

Google has gone so far as to share its monopoly profits with business partners to secure their agreement to fence out competition, has developed a series of internal projects to address the “contagion” it perceived from efforts by Epic and others to offer consumers and developers competitive alternatives, and has even contemplated buying some or all of Epic to squelch this threat.

Google aurait envisagé de racheter Epic Games afin de limiter un éventuel effet de contagion suite au procès d’Epic à l’encontre de Google concernant la commission sur les ventes via Google Play. Google dément cette interprétation, doutant du sérieux du procès où il se défend.

Gamasutra - Epic suggests Google once considered buying Epic Games to end Fortnite platform dispute
▻https://gamasutra.com/view/news/386410/Epic_suggests_Google_once_considered_buying_Epic_Games_to_end_Fortnite_pl

Google toyed with the idea of buying Fortnite developer Epic Games as the two companies butted heads over platform fees and payment methods.

As spotted by The Verge, newly unsealed (and freshly redacted) court filings submitted by Epic as part of its ongoing antitrust lawsuit against Google indicate the tech giant considered purchasing Epic to effectively silence the company.

Les documents issus du procès d’Epic Games à l’encontre de Google concernant le niveau de commission de Google Play laissent à penser que le second aurait envisagé de racheter le premier pour le faire taire et le faire rentrer dans le rang.

Gamasutra - Google is introducing ’play as you download’ games with Android 12
▻https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/384983/Google_is_introducing_play_as_you_download_games_with_Android_12.php

Google is rolling out ’play as you download’ games with Android 12 so users can start playing almost twice as fast as before.

The company said the feature will allow people to “get into gameplay in seconds while game assets are downloaded in the background.”

[…]

As detailed by Android Games product manager Scott Carbon-Ogden at the Google for Games Developer Summit, the company is also working to reduce download times using a new feature called ’Play Asset Delivery’ that uses Texture Compression Format Targeting to automatically figure out what modern compression formats can be used to reduce file sizes.

En ce moment, c’est la multiplication des écrans sur le thème « Soit tu nous refiles tes données personnelles, soit tu n’accèdes pas à notre site ». Comme en plus j’ai activé un bloquer de pubs, c’est la fête du slip en permanence.

Évidemment, c’est la multiplication des design maléfiques, où le lien « Ne pas accepter » est planqué (désormais en petit en haut à droite du popup), et le lien « Oui, fliquez-moi » est un beau gros bouton bien visible. Ou le classique choix entre « Oui pour tout, z’y va » et « Non, je ne veux pas, mais je vais devoir passer les 5 prochaines minutes de ma vie dans un formulaire à la con pour régler le truc. »

Mais le pompon, ces derniers jours, c’est :

Russia Requires Apple and Google to Remove LinkedIn From Local App Stores
▻http://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/06/technology/linkedin-blocked-in-russia.html

Smartphone users in Russia can no longer download the LinkedIn app on iPhone or Android devices, following a similar move in China to block The New York Times app on iPhones. The demand by Russian authorities to remove LinkedIn in Apple and Google app stores comes weeks after a court blocked the professional networking service for flouting local laws that require internet firms to store data on Russian citizens within the nation’s borders. The action is the equivalent of a nation banning (...)

Le réseau social est dans le collimateur de la Russie, qui l’accuse de violer la loi en hébergeant les données des utilisateurs russes en dehors du territoire national.

Elle a en effet demandé à Apple et à Google de la retirer de leurs magasins d’applications, a rapporté vendredi 6 janvier le New York Times. Une information confirmée par Apple et par LinkedIn.

Half of all app store revenue goes to just 25 developers • The Register
▻http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/12/04/top_25_app_devs_earn_half_of_revenue

#Apple's #App_Store and the #Google_Play_store each claim to offer over 700,000 apps to choose from, but only a tiny fraction of them bring in significant revenue for their developers, according to research from analyst firm Canalys.

In fact, the company says, of the $120m in total revenue generated from paid app downloads and in-app purchases in the US during the first 20 days of November 2012, fully half was split between just 25 developers.
