> The study concluded that the App Store generated R$63.8 billion ($11.7 billion) for Brazilian developers last year

It seems the correct (from the original source) is billions.

And the original report says that, for 90% of this value, no commission was paid to Apple (perhaps for the low-value obtained by the developer)

It's horrible how much Apple controls the market. I know of one startup who got shut out of the market because Apple considered there were already enough apps of that kind on their App Store. In many instances if you can't have a mobile app your startup is dead before it started.

I’d love to see that. I’ve never heard of denial for that reason, and the App Store is certainly crowded in every category.
