YouTube TV will no longer support App Store subscriptions
Google wants to avoid paying any fees to Apple for those who subscribe to YouTube TV using App Store, so it will no longer allow users to pay for their subscriptions via Apple in-app purchases.

It looks like the 30 percent cut per subscription that Apple took for every YouTube TV subscriber was too much for Google. It's unclear how is this going to affect the growth of the service now that all iOS users must sign up for a subscription via YouTube TV's website, but it surely won't help.
