So theoretically a dating app could today add a PayPal button or stripe pay box.

They don't even need to go through appstore review if they add it to a webview server side.

So... Have any apps done this yet? Seems like the kind of thing that could be pushed out in a few hours by some teams.

They still are going to pay a fee to Apple.

Apple will pull it for not going through the StoreKit entitlement process.

Using StoreKit allows Apple to measure the number of purchases done, to take their cut.
