Apple Seeks Solution For Potentially Bankrupting App Fees
- Apple acknowledges the Core Technology Fee could bankrupt free app developers if their app suddenly goes viral
- A developer asked if Apple would charge a $5 million fee to a high school student if their free app got 10 million downloads
- Apple's Kyle Andeer admitted they don't yet have a solution to prevent bankrupting developers in that situation
- Andeer said they didn't see many examples of viral free apps incurring huge fees, but want to solve this anyway
- Apple is still working on a way to prevent huge Core Technology Fees from ruining solo developers or small teams
