I decided to dive in to Apples App Store Review Guidelines. The following bullets related to in-app purchases (Chapter 3.1.1) makes me thing there should be a creative solution to fix this.

Just spitballing but this is my Curren train of thought, without technological barriers.

Bullet 2; Apps may use in-app purchase currencies to enable customers to “tip” the developer or digital content providers in the app.

Idea - Buy sats via in-app purchases.

Pro - Keep on zapping ⚡️

Con - 15-30% premium on your sats 🤬

Bullet 3; Any credits or in-game currencies purchased via in-app purchase may not expire, and you should make sure you have a restore mechanism for any restorable in-app purchases.

Idea - Make sats refundable doesn’t say it has to go trough the App. Could make just go to your own wallet.

Pro - Easy?

Con - Not certain if that’s allowed

Bullet 4; Apps may enable gifting of items that are eligible for in-app purchase to others. Such gifts may only be refunded to the original purchaser and may not be exchanged.

Idea - This could be te way you send each other Zaps. Zaps would be gifted items someone bought trough in-app purchases.

Pro - Keep on Zapping

Con - Iteration issues and again 15-30% premium on your sats 🤬

Bullet 5; Apps distributed via the Mac App Store may host plug-ins or extensions that are enabled with mechanisms other than the App Store.

Idea - Blank on this but maybe someone else has an idea

Pro - ?

Con - ?

Bullet 6; Apps offering “loot boxes” or other mechanisms that provide randomized virtual items for purchase must disclose the odds of receiving each type of item to customers prior to purchase.

Idea - Also no idea on this but maybe someone else does

Pro - ?

Con - ?

I don’t use that but that’s a good point.
