That's awesome! Thanks for sharing. I'll definitely use that from now on, great work.
One thing I noticed after creating a simple button component was that it does not export the font family of the text within but that might be a Figma limitation.
It's funny how these journalists spend all this time researching these stories but miss a very important point - Google and Apple take a 30% cut off in-app purchases. Governments take sales taxes/VAT as well - up to 25% in some European countries.
Apple's cut is taken at the time users buy TikTok coins, not at time of donation/withdrawal. You get more TikTok coins for the same amount of money on web because they don't have to give Apple/Google a cut. So once your fiat is converted to a TikTok coin it's already "clean", meaning all app cuts have been accounted for.
The giver buys 100tiktok coin for 100usd. The receiver gets 100tiktok coins from the giver. For google/apple to get there 30% cut, the 100tiktok coin can't convert back to 100usd.
You buy two coins for $0.02 and they give one diamond or $0.01 to the recipient. This looks like a 50% cut but after App Store fees and taxes it's more like 25%.
TikTok gifts are not charitable donations. They are in-app purchases. For every gift you buy, streamers earn "diamonds" which can be withdrawn for cash.
You cannot built this kind of functionality without giving Google/Apple a 30% cut, plus they collect sales tax and VAT on your behalf.
I'll give you an example. If I sell an in-app purchase for a price of £1 in the UK, £0.17 go to the government, and £0.25 to Apple/Google. I'm left with £0.58!
That's the point and the title is misleading. If you buy goods from an organization because you'd like to support their cause, that's not a donation but a simple purchase. Even though 'donation' is not mentioned here, it is implied in many of the comments I read in this thread. But that's far from what it actually is and how the transaction is worked. The story would actually be outrageous if some vendor took x % from a 'donation'. But that's not the case here. These are 'purchases' with the intention of helping someone. Nevertheless, the intention doesn't matter at all here. If you want to donate, you'll have to look for a place to 'donate'. And then your transaction will be handled accordingly (hopefully).
I missed this when I read the title. TikTok does not have a charity feature and the money in this case is not going to charitable organizations. They are regular live streams where people are asking for money and watchers are giving money through a standard "tip" feature of live streams.
The App Review Guidelines at 4.3) Spam states: the App Store has enough ... dating apps. We will reject these apps unless they provide a unique, high-quality experience.
Does the App Store accept any new dating apps at all? How high is the bar set for the definition of unique high-quality experience? I'd hate to invest time and money into creating an iOS app just to have it rejected.
I'll try to ask this question on October 17th in the App Store Slack channel they've created but I'm just wondering what you all think here.
My guess is that this in response to the X,000,000 dating sites that are all owned by the same companies and are minimal rebrands with identical shared content in order to capture SEO clicks, and the inevitable webview wrapper dating apps for them.
I use this (sometimes) and it's consistently given me good results, and it feels great to use everything up. Each meal plan typically contains three meals and has ingredient quantities for two or four people. As I live on my own, it's pretty easy to either prep and do the 'final' bits of cooking over two days, or for some recipes just freeze the second portion. Recommended.
