I just noticed I get paid 54c for every tier 1 priced sale for the UK. Even with EUR, i get 65c per sale. Devs really shouldn't be exposed to currency risk like this. Apple needs to reprice the tiers if the GBP keeps falling.

Devs always have option not to sell in UK. These are serious risks, especially for those who use all sort of "pay-per-install" schemes. I'm actually seriously considering limiting myself to US, EU, and Canada markets only. (EU payments seem fine)

I have received payment for EUR and GBP. Got a payment file for AUS.

Hopefully CAN and US are on their way soon!

GBP seems to be only currency nearing the 50c mark. For the "rest of the world" reports, I see 70c per sale (unless appviz is not showing the correct value to me). Somehow Apple manages to absorb the fx fluctuations for dozens of other countries.

Pulling out of the UK market doesn't make sense though. The marginal cost of selling an additional copy is essentially 0. If CPI catches on (Flurry/AppCircle, .app/.ads, TapJoy, even ngmoco mentioned this sort of monetization in their freemium apps), then it becomes a bigger issue.

I think we should all lobby Apple to re-price tier1 apps in the UK instead of pulling out.

Sorry for the thread hijack!

Currency risk is good, at least at the moment. The pound weakening significantly is great news for us UK based devs when our payments come in

Should be within a few days in my experience and what I've seen others say. I don't think I've heard about it taking a week or more, but there are probably those cases out there.
