Does Apple charge for payments inside Glide apps?

[Amit_Ajwani]

If someone adds my Glide app to their home screen, and within the app they make a payment to me via the Stripe integration, does Apple get a cut of that in any scenario?

I ask because the App Store charges 15/30% for all app purchases or in-app purchases, so a little surprised this “loophole” exists?

How I understand it is them adding the app to your home screen is basically just like adding a “bookmark”. It’s not an Apple install, so I doubt Apple would get a cut from the “bookmark”.

Apple only takes cuts from Apps downloaded from their App Store.
