> Every Apple Developer Program membership includes 200GB of Apple hosting capacity for the App Store. Apple-Hosted Background Assets can be submitted separately from an app build.
Is this the first time Apple has offered something substantial for the App store fees beyond the SDK/Xcode and basic app distribution?
Is it a way to give developers a reason to limit distribution to only the official App Store, or will this be offered regardless of what store the app is downloaded from?

They've offered 25hrs/mo of Xcode Cloud build time for the last couple years.
Background Assets have existed for years. I’m not sure that 200GB figure is new.
Huh. Does this cover if you use public CloudKit databases...?
