Distributing music streaming apps in the EEA that provide an external purchase link
To distribute music streaming apps in the European Economic Area (EEA) that provide an external purchase link, use the Music Streaming Services (EEA) Entitlement. You'll need to submit a request, enable the entitlement in Xcode, and use the required StoreKit APIs. Apple will review your app to ensure it follows the terms and conditions of the entitlement, as well as the App Review Guidelines and Apple Developer Program License Agreement.
Requesting the entitlement
To begin, submit the entitlement request form. You'll need to be an Account Holder in the Apple Developer Program, provide details such as your app's bundle ID, website domain, and the name of your payment service provider. To be eligible for the entitlement, your app must:
- Have the primary purpose of offering music streaming services;
- Have selected Music as its primary app category;
- Be available on the iOS or iPadOS App Store in an EEA storefront;
- Not use the StoreKit External Link Account Entitlement profile; and
- Not participate in the Video Partner Program or News Partner Program.
Using the entitlement
The Music Streaming Services (EEA) Entitlement works with all EEA storefronts. Please note, as of October 1, 2026, the Music Streaming Services (EEA) Entitlement is governed by Attachment 14 of the Apple Developer Program License agreement. For implementation details, see the following documentation:
