Apple: small developer assistance submission requests due by May 20

Apple has seeded the fourth developer betas of macOS Sonoma 14.5, iOS 17.5, iPadOS 17.5, tvOS 17.5, watchOS 10.5, and vision 1.2.

Last year, Apple announced a US$100 million fund to assist US small developers. Now the tech giant is reminding eligible developers that they have until May 20, 2022, to submit a request to an independent administrator to receive payment. 

The fund is open to all developers based in the United States who:

° Sold paid apps or in-app purchases (including subscriptions) through the App Store between June 4, 2015 and April 26, 2021; and

° Earned proceeds equal to or less than $1 million through the US storefront in each calendar year in which they had a developer account between 2015 to 2021.

In August 2021,Apple announced a number of changes coming to the App Store that, pending court approval, will resolve a class-action suit from U.S. developers. Among other things, the agreement stated that Apple would establish a fund to assist small US developers.
