Matt Mullenweg, lead developer of the open-source web software WordPress has now accused Apple of letting them give out updates for their application. This has been done regarding the unfair tax rules that have been applied by the giant multinational technology company. He shared a Tweet about why the WordPress app had no updates in recent times. He blamed that Apple had blocked their ability to launch updates until they add in-app purchases and be able to extract its 30 per cent cut of the money. Mullenweg wrote, “Heads up on why @WordPressiOS updates have been absent... we were locked by App Store. To be able to ship updates and bug fixes again we had to commit to supporting in-app purchases for .com plans. I know why this is problematic, open to suggestions. Allow others IAP? New name?”. This problem was later solved by the two, and Matt even shared a Tweet for the same.
