After saying it definitely isnt bringing in-app purchases back, Spotifys app might have spilled the beans... again.

Following rumors that Spotify intended to bring in-app purchases back to its iPhone app the streamer says that isn't the case at all.

Spotify continues its bid to remain independent of the Apple App Store. For a long time now, Spotify has defied Apple in their App Store commission rates, and the recent move to prevent iOS users from subscribing via Cupertino's system still stands.

Spotify denies speculation that strings of code point to the music streamer allowing in-app subscriptions from the App Store.

Despite reports, Spotify will not be adding in-app purchases back on iPhone anytime soon.

Code was spotted in Spotify’s iOS app suggesting the service might re-enable in-app payments, but the company says they’re not coming back. “We have no plans to switch IAP [in-app payments] on at the moment,” Spotify’s global head of corporate and policy communications, Farshad Shadloo, tells The Verge. Spotify removed the feature in 2016 to avoid Apple’s up to 30 percent commission on digital in-app purchases, and earlier this year migrated old subscribers off the payment method.
