Discussion
This is actually a very interesting idea. You can buy sats in app and give Apple their cut. You get a LN wallet in the app. That wallet can also receive sats from other wallets. So…
I’ve been thinking about it
🤔 
So Apple would get 30% for the sale of bitcoin?
Only the purchase. The largest scalp in the game. Suddenly they would have to compete in the open market
So your saying to Apple, if you get a 30% cut of the purchase of bitcoin made through an in app purchase via a third party seller, then we could get zap notes back, right?
Their policy is meaningless. there are other incentives they are attempting to accomplish. “money” might catch their attention. catch them in a short game strategy in long term games.
Yeah. Bitcoin that doesn’t buy anything.
I would like to request full disclosure for any zaps sent including an apple tax and an ability to refund them. Apple doesn’t pay my health insurance. Perhaps those zaps could have a different color? Or be a 30% shorter lighting bolt?
I can’t believe they want you to tokenize when you achieved direct lighting to BTC.
They want a cut. If Apple allowed it, they turn into a Robin Hood esque situation where you have a custodial option. They no longer have a walled garden but are simply one of many terminals and will need to complete on a more free and open market.
Have you thought about adding an account management URL?
You could go to a page that listed many iOS wallets and instructions on how to add them.
Have you explored this at all?
There was a significant change in Apple's App Store policies that occurred in response to regulatory pressure and lawsuits, most notably from Epic Games. As part of this change, Apple announced that "reader" apps would be able to provide a single link to a website for account management, including payment setup.
"Reader" apps are a category of apps defined by Apple that provide previously purchased content or subscriptions for digital magazines, newspapers, books, audio, music, and video. Examples include Netflix, Spotify, and Kindle. Before this change, Apple's policy was to disallow any links or instructions that explained to users how to pay for their subscriptions outside the app, which allowed Apple to enforce its 15-30% commission on in-app purchases.
