Apple just made it possible for developers who have never shared a Slack channel to share a subscription package. The company announced at WWDC 2026 on June 8 that its App Bundles feature will now support cross-developer partnerships, letting independent creators team up and offer joint subscription deals across their respective apps.
Previously, App Bundles were a single-developer affair. You could bundle your own apps together at a discount, but collaborating with another developer’s product was off the table.
How the new bundles work
The updated system supports bundles of up to 10 apps from different developers. When a user subscribes to any single app within a bundle, they gain access to all of the other apps included in that package.
Apple also introduced a new concept called “Suites.” These are subscription packages that can’t be purchased as standalone items. In English: developers can create premium tiers that only exist as part of a bundle, giving users a reason to subscribe to the whole package rather than cherry-picking individual apps.
