It's official: any Mac app can transition to shared purchase with iOS, iPadOS, watchOS and tvOS. If this is the only change coming to Catalyst before WWDC, then Apple chose the right thing to focus on https://t.co/qHU7kvjf6U

Apple reverses course on one of the biggest complaints about merged Catalyst Mac/iOS apps. My story pointing this out from October: Apple’s Merged iPad, Mac Apps Leave Developers Uneasy, Users Paying Twice https://t.co/1gNcmZK0hp https://t.co/FwyQDl3yMT

This screams to me that Apple was wholly unprepared for the needs of Catalyst developers, and scrambled to roll this out before next WWDC. Universal Purchase was rumored to not be coming for another 2 years in the Marzipan roadmap. This is such great news

Wow starting in March developers will be able to distribute apps with one universal price across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and tvOS. I wonder if people will still complain about $5 apps. https://t.co/kttQK6LAiI
