Spotify submitted a new version of its iOS app with in-app pricing information for users in the European Union about how much theyโ€™ll pay for subscriptions made outside of Appleโ€™s payment system โ€” but Apple has stonewalled it again.

Spotify says Apple rejected the request because it wonโ€™t request an entitlement and pay Apple the commission it takes from purchases made from external links. As part of an EU ruling from earlier this year, Apple must allow music streaming apps to include external purchase links. However, Appleโ€™s updated rules say app developers will need to use the Music Streaming Services Entitlement and that itโ€™s still taking a commission from these purchases.

Apple spokesperson Hannah Smith provided the message sent from Apple to Spotify, which says, โ€œThis entitlement is required even if your app does not include an external link (nor does it require that you offer an external link). We will, however, approve version 8.9.33 after you accept the terms of the Music Streaming Services Entitlement (EEA) and resubmit it for review.โ€
