IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL USERS: First off - Happy New Year! Welcome to 2018! We have a change to announce at the start of this year.

Apple implemented changes January 1, 2018 that now require us to submit applications under user's own developer accounts. As a result we are making the following changes to our processes:

 

1. All new users will require their own developer accounts with both Apple and Google Play. Applications will be submitted under these accounts and not under Nobex Partners.
   
2. All new users will need to add Nobex Partners as Administrators on their developer accounts (team@nobexinc.com).
   
3. There will be a one-time $90 USD setup fee for all new accounts that are not on a Plus or Pro plan.
   
4. All existing users who are on the Core plan are invited to stay on the Core plan with two options: A) Do nothing: we will no longer be able to process updates to your application and cannot guarantee how long it will be available in the stores as we will not be able to make changes to the application. B) Create your own developer accounts with Apple and Google Play and pay the setup fee and we will be able to transfer your app(s) to your own accounts and will be able to process paid updates as necessary.
   
5. All existing users who are on the Plus or Pro plans, we will waive the setup fee but will need to transfer your app(s) to your own developer accounts with Apple and Google.
   

We know this change will be an inconvenience for some of you but, unfortunately, have no control over the implementation of Apple's new policy and must make the adjustment in order to comply. We want to take this opportunity to thank all the stations and podcasters who have chosen Nobex Partners as their platform and hope to work with you all to make this transition as smooth as possible. - The Nobex Partners Team

I received that message also yesterday ...

However these rules are for new members.

People who have already an account don't have to do anything ...

 

Anyway, Apple is the big brother and Nobex has to follow the rules that Apple make

Monopoly of the biggest

 

I suppose its gonna give a boost to the TuneIn app who is also a free app

Digital modern World ? Nothing is perfect ... sad but true

very true.

It's annoying, but there's probably nothing to be done about it

Weren't Spacial Audio doing some promo with Nobex recently?

[GKIye]

Thats right ... They call it "partners"

The first partner was iPluggers, a service who offers free downloads of new releases.

In fact very interesting ... The past weeks there were releases from Inna and Joss Stone

The way to login to iPluggers is a "nobexxxxxxxx" login + password given by Nobex

 

Since about a Month they promote also Spacial Audio
