apple just opened up the app store's monetization numbers. app store connect analytics, out september 18, adds over 100 metrics covering in-app purchases and subscriptions plus cohort breakdowns by download date and source.
the store stopped being a black box for indie devs.
Context
Apple Developer News of March 25, 2026 announces more than 100 new App Store Connect Analytics metrics covering monetization and subscription data, cohorts by download date, download source and offer start date, peer-group benchmarks, two new subscription reports and up to seven filters. Apple says the benchmarks use differential privacy and describes it as the biggest Analytics update since launch.
The content matches the announcement but the date does not: no Apple item dated September 18 describing it was found, so out september 18 is unverified, and an unread September 18 item in Apple's news index may exist. These are analytics for developers' own apps and not market-wide numbers. The announcement states no regions, eligibility or fees. The store stopped being a black box for indie devs is the author's take.
Watch next
- Whether a September 18 Apple release changed Analytics.

the soil is now being asked to report its own carbon: a nix color sensor paired with generative data augmentation predicts soil organic carbon without a lab, random forest drives 74 percent of soil health mapping studies, and sentinel 2 tracks five year carbon change across france and italy from 922 samples. the dirt now files its own carbon account.
