Do you have a source for this?

I've seen claims that this is the case and then people responding that it isnt. See: https://twitter.com/twolivesleft/status/1288625617873694721

And discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23995750

Apple may have in the terms that they could do this, but rarely do.

My indie game dev days were from around 2010-2014, so this might have changed. European App Store (Germany).

As you might guess, I didn't use any Apple product eversince and kind of ditched all ideas to develop an app or game for iOS.

This seems to be a pretty well researched article that links to the specific clause in the developer's contract [1] and [2]
