patreon app store.
Is apple still blocking apps from telling users they can subscribe outside of the app store?
I.e A message on check out that says "You can save 30% if you subscribe directly the website. Apple charges a 30% processing fee for using Apple subscriptions, please just subscribe on the website."

So if I read that correctly, Apple wants a cut from Patreon's iOS app, not all Patreon creetors that have iOS apps. People still have the option of contributing to Patreon directly via their website, or even their mobile website.
Close. They want a cut from all users that use the Patreon IOS app. Since they can't quite stretch that far, they're insisting that Apple IAP functionality be built into the app and it be offered to the users. And as before, they can't tell the users that it's cheaper, or even available, elsewhere.
