Hello,
We are working on integrating billing into our dating app, targeted at the Russian market. Our main requirement is to support subscriptions with automatic renewal and cancellation.
We understand that, according to App Store Review Guideline, all digital subscriptions should use Apple In-App Purchase (IAP). However, we are unsure how this applies in Russia, where some local regulations may limit the use of non-Russian payment processors, and where not all Russian bank cards are accepted by Apple.
Our question is:
-For iOS apps in Russia, is it strictly required to use Apple IAP for subscriptions?
-Are there any approved exceptions allowing integration with local processors such as Robokassa or YooKassa?
-How are other developers currently handling subscriptions for the Russian market?
We want to ensure full compliance and avoid any risk of rejection or removal.
Thank you in advance for any clarification.
Best regards,
Dan
