(Image: Bloomberg)Apple Inc has rejected an appeal from the email app Hey to remain available on the iPhone maker’s App Store, saying the software violated its rules related to in-app purchases. Earlier this week, the app’s developers said that Apple turned down an update to the software because it violated App Store rules. The Hey email app requires users to sign up for an account outside of the app and doesn’t allow in-app subscriptions, which would require that Apple receive a 30 per cent share of revenue. “The Hey Email app is marketed as an email app on the App Store, but when users download your app, it does not work,” Apple said in the letter. “This would allow the app to function as an email client without requiring an additional payment to use its features and functionality,” Apple said.
