Does Apple charge the publisher for distributing his gratis app in the App Store?
app-store, iphone
Solution
No, Apple does not charge to distribute free apps.
You do still need to pay for a developer account, but after that there is no charge for free apps.
Problem
This might be a dumb question but I have not find the answer when googling it. I think the answer is "no" but like to have it confirmed. I know Apple gets a share for each App sold in the App Store. But are they earning when the App is for free? To make the question more clear. Suppose I develop a iPhone App and want to distribute that app gratis (for free) through the Apple App Store. So I wonder whether Apple charges me something for each downloaded App?
