Hi everyone,
We're working on a fitness and wellness app that offers subscription-based content like workout videos, nutrition plans, and personal coaching.
We've read the updated documentation on the External Link Account Entitlement (ELAE), which allows certain apps to include a link to an external website for account management and payments.
However, based on what Apple describes as eligible “reader apps” (video streaming, books, audio, etc.), it's unclear whether fitness apps can apply for and use this entitlement.
Our questions:
Can a fitness app use the External Link Account Entitlement to link out to a web-based subscription page?
If not currently supported, is there any plan to expand this to other categories like health & fitness?
We are fully compliant with App Store IAP rules today, but we're exploring all legitimate options as we aim to provide a smooth and transparent experience across platforms (iOS, Android, and web).
Any insights from the community or Apple team would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Onur Hazar
