Apple will ensure that developers can avoid in -app purchasing systems while securing the current "multiple protection measures" in the legal documents submitted to the US Appeal Court on November 30.He said that he faced a "serious engineering" task.

"If an instruction is executed, Apple can also impose commissions made through such a mechanism."Regarding this, "Apple has to build a system and process for that," but even if he won the appeal, the resources spent are not collected for that, so the stop is "forced to recover."He said.For this reason, Apple has called for appeal to the appeal of the federal judge until the appeal procedure is completed.
