Hey y'all,
Anyone know where the option to enable/disable family sharing has gone in iTunes Connect? Or am I mistaken in thinking it's something you can choose?
Family Sharing iTunes Connect
Well, back in 2014/iOS 8, Apple was asking devs to use the 'contracts, tax & banking' section in iTunes Connect to enable 'family sharing', and there are iTC FAQ answers about family sharing today, but I've never seen a way (no checkbox for it) to do what they say.
-=-
To make your apps available as part of Family Sharing, agree to the updated iOS Paid Applications and/or Mac Paid Applications agreement in Contracts, Tax and Banking on iTunes Connect. To ensure that Family Sharing is also enabled for previously purchased apps, leave the appropriate checkbox selected on the agreements page."
See: https://itunespartner.apple.com/en/apps/faq/Family%20Sharing_Overview#16944287
I contacted devprograms@apple.com about this:
Family sharing was added to your account when you setup the paid applications contract in iTunes Connect. When the contract is setup, it automatically turns family sharing on for all of your apps. This cannot be disabled, as it’s tied to the contract.Apple also close the rdar 36252815 "Don't show Family Sharing for Freemium app" with won't fix.
Seems odd dev support uses the old name instead of App Store Connect...but thanks for confirming.
