gm 🌞🌻 reminder that Apple is still threatening removal of nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 app...

Deadline they have given is June 27th, hoping their decision is reversed before then!

I've submitted appeal to common sense over https://developer.apple.com/contact/#!/topic/select

If you have Apple Developer account, consider doing the same πŸ«‚

Text of email I've sent:

RE: Threatening to remove Damus from AppStore / iPhones

I am writing to express concern about your decision to threaten removal of Damus app from the App Store. I believe that this decision is unfair and will stifle innovation.

The ZAP feature in Damus is not a purchase in the traditional sense. It is simply a way for users to interact with each other by sending sats over Lightning Network.

Your decision to threaten removal Damus is not based on any clear principle. Other apps have P2P send / tipping features, and they have been allowed to remain on the App Store.

I urge you to reconsider your decision and allow Damus to remain on App Store with zaps!

Thanks for putting it together and making it easy to find how to do it!

Thank you!

Anything I can do to stop this fucking madness. Only wish I had some connections in Apple, but I don’t have any in the right places πŸΆπŸΎπŸ˜”

Futhermore, the 'guidelines' say that apps MAY USE not MUST USE for tips:

"Apps may use in-app purchase currencies to enable customers to β€œtip” the developer or digital content providers in the app."
