I guess this will get lost in the noise, but a few years ago Apple relaxed its restrictions on IAP donations and allows developers to offer a "tip jar" where IAPs don't unlock any specific features. I've been shipping a free and open source app with a donate button on the App Store since mid-2017 [1].

Does Apple take their customary cut? I am not interested in "donating" to Apple.

Ever use a credit card to make a donation anywhere?

Interesting. As someone who considers making an open source app with a tip jar like that I would be very interested in hearing how much that actually nets you if you want to share that info (Maybe via PM if you prefer)
