“The Readability iOS app has been re-submitted. Coming soon: our open love letter to Apple,” the company said on Twitter.
Readability loves Apple again
The company’s app was previously rejected from the App Store for violating a new Apple policy that requires subscription services to pay the company 30 percent of the money it collects from in-app sales. The rejection raised concerns that software-as-a-service ventures would be subject to Apple’s policy.
When the company discovered that Apple wouldn’t allow its app on the App Store, it published an open letter condemning the move and pointing out that Apple uses Readility’s features in its own Safari Web browser application.
The Readability team didn’t elaborate on why it decided to resubmit its app for approval, but based on the company’s tweet, there’s a good chance they had an opportunity to talk directly with Apple about their concerns.
