<p>As described in a new update (https://timetoplayfair.com/audiobooks/) to its Time to Play Fair website, Spotify has faced the ire of App Review over its attempt to launch an audiobooks store inside the Spotify app on iPhone. The app was rejected three times by App Review due to violations of Apple’s In-App Purchase rules, before finally being approved on Tuesday. The eventually-approved app experience entails a nine step process, far more complicated than Spotify ideally wanted to offer, to comply with App Store rules.</p>
<p>Spotify says this is yet another case of Apple’s anticompetitive dominance on the app economy. Spotify first filed a formal complaint (https://9to5mac.com/2019/03/13/spotify-files-complaint-with-european-commission/) to the European Commission back in 2019 The commission is still investigating.</p>
