In an attempt to release a new update for its iOS application in the European Union, Spotify once again faced opposition from Apple due to concerns over the company's App Store terms.

Quick Summary:

Apple has created a Music Streaming Services Entitlement for the EEA storefronts, which allows streaming services to use external links, buttons, and calls to action to direct users to a developer’s website for purchases outside of Apple’s In-App Purchase mechanism.

What Happened: The update for Spotify’s app in the App Store has been put on hold as the streaming service failed to adhere to the regulations allowing links to external sites for purchases, reported AppleInsider on Wednesday.

Spotify Technology SA‘s (NYSE:SPOT) second attempt to update its iOS app in the EU has been thwarted by Apple Inc.(NASDAQ:AAPL) due to non-compliance with its App Store rules.
