If you're an App Store developer, you might be eligible for a payment from Apple as high as $30,000.
As reported from MacRumors, the website that allows developers to submit a claim for the recent $100 million lawsuit settlement from Apple is now live.
The settlement, which is part of the "Small Developer Assistance Fund," is eligible for developers who meet the following criteria:
- Was sold for a non-zero price;
- Was sold via Apple's iOS App Store between 2015 and 2021; and
- Earned, together with any other iOS applications or in-app products (including subscriptions) sold through all of your associated developer accounts, proceeds equal to or less than $1,000,000.00 through the App Store U.S. storefront in every calendar year from 2015 to 2021 in which you had a developer account.
There are about 67,000 developers who are eligible for the settlement. Those that earned less than $100 could receive at least $250, and those who earned $1,000,000 could receive $30,000. As previously reported, the payments will break down as follows:
