I have a working affailiate account for apps and iTunes content. By using SKCloudServiceSetupViewController with the SKCloudServiceSetupOptionsAffiliateTokenKey and SKCloudServiceSetupOptionsCampaignTokenKey option keys, will I get affiliate income when users subscribe to Apple Music through my app? Or is there something else I need to do?
