    #29: Behind the App #3: The 30% Cut

    March 5th, 2015 · 32 minutes

    This time on 'Behind the App', we look at the 30/70 revenue split for developers on the App Store. We look back at how people felt about this when it was introduced, understand how they feel about it now, and try to gauge if Apple is holding up their end of the deal.

    Guest Starring: Marco Arment, Russell Ivanovic, David Smith, Guy English, Padraig Kennedy, Oisín Prendiville, and Matthew Bischoff
