Common Questions

Can I distribute on the App Store and the Aptoide iOS Store at the same time?

Yes, and we recommend the same build and Bundle ID on both. The Aptoide Billing SDK only handles purchases on installs from our store; App Store installs keep Apple's in-app purchase.

What do I need to set up with Apple?

An Apple Developer account that has accepted Apple's latest terms for your regions. You connect our store in App Store Connect with a token from Aptoide Connect, then submit builds there as usual, at least a week before release.

Does my app have to follow the App Store Review Guidelines?

Not for a build distributed only outside the App Store. Apple notarizes it instead, a baseline check on security, privacy and device integrity, and our team then reviews it against our own content and quality guidelines.

What does Apple charge for apps outside the App Store?

A 5% Core Technology Commission on digital sales, in the EU and Japan. Apple invoices you for it directly, apart from the share you keep with us.

Does Aptoide handle tax and payments for my iOS app?

Yes, with the Aptoide Billing SDK. In the territories where Aptoide Connect is the merchant of record, listed in Annex I of the Developer Distribution Agreement, we handle digital sales tax, VAT, fraud, disputes and refunds. With your own billing, payments stay with you.

Who can install apps from the Aptoide iOS Store?

Users whose Apple Account is set to an EU country or Japan, while they are there. Abroad, they keep the apps they installed and can update them for up to 90 days.
