It's often allowed if it's not purely a digital product or subscription, otherwise you have to at least also offer in-app purchases; you can still sell outside of the app.

Neither Netflix, Spotify, Hulu Live TV or YouTube TV offer in app subscriptions. It hasn’t been required for “reader apps” (strange name I know) for over a decade.
