The Mac App Store is gaining several other categories coming from iOS, including “Books,” “Food & Drink,” “Magazines & Newspapers,” “Navigation” and “Shopping.”
On iOS, developers will be able to list their app in two new categories: “Developer Tools” and “Graphics & Design.”
By listing their app in a new category, developers may have a better shot at ranking higher on the list of Top apps, compared with competing in an existing category alongside far more apps. In preparation for the changes, the App Store categories will be unified across the iOS App Store and Mac App Store, to make apps more “discoverable,” Apple says.Īpple’s App Store categories are rarely updated, so this too is a notable change that will impact all developers - including those without a universal app bundle to sell. They’ll also be able to more easily sync customers’ in-app purchases and subscriptions across platforms.Īpple says support for universal purchase will roll out in March 2020. Developers, meanwhile, will be able to entice customers to buy their Mac and iOS app together, or other combinations of apps.

For consumers, a universal purchase option allows them to just pay once for an app that works across devices, including iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and/or Mac. Apple surprised its app developer community today with the official announcement that they’ll soon be able to sell their cross-platform apps as one universal purchase, including, for the time, apps that run on macOS.
