Yeah, I don’t think that this will get you banned. Massive applications in the App Store have work arounds. Spotify won’t even let you sign up through their iOS application. You’d think Apple, as a direct competitor in music streaming, would have thrown the gauntlet down. They didn’t.
I highly doubt they’re going do anything about this. It has nothing to do with your application.
If Spotify had a secret way to sign users up from the app I’m sure apple would either take their 30% or ban them.
Apple guidelines are quite simple.
If the "content" is consumed inside the app, they want 30%. Which is why you can't buy a Kindle on the Amazon app.
This has nothing to do with #bitcoin
Correct, we have a disclaimer inside our iOS app (so does Netflix) that alert the user they can buy a membership on our website and we never had a problem with Apple.
As long as the "purchase" of the content happens outside of Damus, they will have no problem with it.
But the emoji is posted inside the app. It’s a gray area.
So it’s our disclaimer that says you can buy a membership - which is required to use the app - outside of the app.
Now I wonder if we should also add a button that send the user directly to our website. 
In other words Apple doesn’t really care that we’re instructing users on how to evade their 30% commission.
It only cares that when “content” is “purchased” AND “consumed” inside the app, they get 30% of it.
The original zap feature doesn’t fit that description as the content was not purchased. It was public, zaps were like micro donations. Apple is likely afraid of BTC circumventing their ability to charge fees entirely. An interesting test is to submit a new app, with the old feature enabled but that gives 30% of the BTC to Apple.
