Apple and Google now banned from forcing apps to use their payment systems in South Korea

[Jacob Siegal]

Apple and Google have long forced mobile developers to use their respective app store in-app purchase systems. This allows the companies to take sizable cuts from every sale within apps on iOS and Android. This Tuesday, South Korea put an end to the restriction by passing a law banning platform owners from requiring developers to use their IAP systems. Going forward, Apple and Google will have no choice but to allow other payment systems in South Korea.
