Imagine how much money they missed out on by not charging $0.50c for every install of those government COVID tracking apps all over the world.

Apple is a scumbag company. Any developer who continues to support Apple by building software for their ecosystem is a bad person.

Hi, bad person here, happily building apps for their devices.

They missed out on €0 because government entities, non-profits and educational institutions are exempt from the install fee.

Alternatively you can also just stick with the App Store and pay 15%/30% over revenue without install fee, which would also be €0 in your hypothetical.

If you had read you would have found that government entities are exempt from the CTF fee
