Spotify continues to complain about an Apple Tax that it doesn’t really pay, as it decries Apple’s non-approval of its latest update because of a violation of App Store rules.

On Wednesday, Apple told Spotify that its app update for users in the EU was not allowed into regional App Store instances due to missing elements. The App Store review process determined that Spotify did not accept the terms of the Music Streaming Services Entitlement.
Apple requires the entitlement to be accepted by streaming services before apps can point users toward a website owned by the developer. This can be used to handle purchases outside of the App Store.
