That's very disappointing.
I appreciate your response but Apple is encouraging people to embrace this less expensive subscription. I don't think customers will understand that this doesn't give them access to the entire library or that it would effect a third party app.
If you ask them "do you have a subscription?" They will think "yes I do."
And now it looks as if the lack of service is in the third party app.
Given that you have just released these APIs that allow us to offer great functionality from within a Swift app, I would request that Apple reconsider this decision.
I appreciate that the decision isn't yours and that you have the unfortunate task of explaining and defending a decision you didn't make - but the result is I can't go forward with my app as it will anger too many customers and they won't understand that the issue is with Apple not me.
