wtf
🤨
Don't mind we are Nostrian !
WTF!
Welcome to corporate drone hell.
So this is after refactoring to only zapping for profiles?
Ask them to clarify how Twitter gets away with tipping profiles if that’s the case.
That said I’m shocked Damus even got on the App Store. Usually they give you a hard time about not having thought police on the platform as well
Comply, I stop reading the rest, it says all.
Is there a path where you can just skip the App Store and people can just download APK file and side load the app? Idk if I am using correct terminology and not sure that apps can be added to iPhone anymore without using App Store.
This will not stop.
I'm not even trying to be a dick. But I'm saying Apple is an oligarch, and they will not tolerate any threat to their empire. House rules.
It’s like arguing with a wall.
What digital content is being received with a zap? It seems like they *really* don’t understand their own rules.
I said the same thing. Maybe i will have to do an official appeal
Would hope you wouldn’t need to, but it really seems like either they have an agenda and are trying to find rules to apply, or they just simply don’t understand how this works.
Could be a bit of both.
Did you do the official appeal?
I was going to appeal the specific guideline they dinged me on but apparently thats not even the thing that I’m getting removed for. I don’t know how to appeal a hidden guideline.
Get the fuck away from big tech and app stores. It's not that easy, I am aware. But we have options, and if you have to ask permission to be free, you never truly are.
Wait..what? They said zapping the profile good. Zapping notes bad…. Ffs 🤦🏻♂️
Maybe they need a demo to see that no notes are actually zapped, only profiles 🤷🏾
😮
Dude fuck Apple straight up
A different reviewer perhaps unaware of your previous conversation with them?
Bitcoin fixes this.
Fuck gatekeeping, innovation stifling, technology shunning, advancement crippling, platforms.
I'm sorry you have to deal with this.
When will you guys learn? Apple is a bully and will keep blocking software which encourages freedom. Its literally in their business model of building an Apple ecosystem: apps which allow 'freedom' allow people to escape the 'ecosystem'.
Please, for the love of god, throw your iPhones away and get a GrapheneOS phone. You'll miss nothing. You'll come to love being free.
Apple is a shitcoin.
Hopefully this is a case of miscommunication and bad documentation on Apple reviewers end as it seems like these were already discussed and resolved per your phone call a week or so ago.
Will, you have the best app to interact with Nostr, why not build the app to android and web and tell apple to go fuck themselves?
Apple is compromised with establishment, don’t pretend they aren’t. Its sad but it’s true.
You think Damus is best because you don't have an Android with Amethyst? Or you've tried both extensively? I think the closed, gatekeeping, systems Apple loves is gonna bite them in the ass in the long run. Open systems win, IMO.
I tried Amethyst in my mothers phone an user experience isn’t the same, but it’s good too, and I agree with you open systems wins, that’s why I sell my iPhone last week and I’m waiting for pixel to run a open system software. But for now I’m using my old iPhone until pixel arrive.
PWA!
They want to make products crap UI / UX so they can take all the great ideas and favor their darling apps and promote their awesome stolen ideas.

Apple are compromised with establishment, the best answer is not to build in iOS.
There is no other way.
Fuck Apple and fuck establishment.
People don't understand the value of free software until the proprietary software owners decide to prevent them from doing things
I don't know the exact idiom in English but Hungarians would say about Apple, that "faszkalapok" - roughly "dick hats"
Damus has been baned from China's app store. Who is stopping apple to block an app in the future in other places even if it doesn't have tipping mechanism. They will find something to silence free speech. It will happen! Swimming against the current is counterproductive.
This is what you get from the closed system and Apple is just that.
So frustrating. Keep pushing. You have our support.
It saddens me seeing how you have to waste your time and talent trying to satisfy the wishes of the tyrant. Do you really have to go through them to be successful in your mission?
When Damus on Android?
#damus #zaps #android #apple
I know this is frustrating. Don’t let it get to you.
I don't believe that it will ever be a way to keep zaps after Apple noticed the app.
Even Brave Browser had to remove their ads rewards program from the iOS version.
I know, people love Apple, but it is time to think about #freedom in your mobile, in your desktop, in your router...
oof
Highly regarded. 🤡🌍
I’m looking at how bitcoin ‘tips’ are integrated into Twitter iOS - I see that when someone has it setup in their profile, I can tap and copy their bitcoin address, but no app linking to wallets.
Looking for other instances or types of tipping but this is what I see.
Change to the same? Tap and copy profile lnurl or address in Damus?
:(
Wtf apple. Chineses fdptas
Braindead Apple at it again.
nostr:note1hsramsja4drrmzgu84nnm5rycte0gj5j8jzhutzx8rhzgnvjz6esl5kumg
The grift never ends.
I already called they weren't going to accept it.. it was kind of obvious..
Sadly I am not surprised. Apple still sees the modified zap flow as the same thing since you can still initiate it from a note. I still can believe Apple let zaps slip through in the first place.
There will be no winning this ☹️
He can change the lightning bolt to a profile image to better represent that you're just going to a profile page
Want freedom for phones; get Android
Want freedom for PC; get Linux
Buy a degoogled (!) android. Or modify yourself with a custom rom. And do not (!) use gmail account, use alternate stores instead google play
All I can say is Apple
file:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/45/05/765EF920-AA69-4AB5-848A-D5C04140C560/tmp.gif
I dont know how to buy digital content with the damus app. Can you explain how this works? I only see the ability to make donations and tips.
The only way they will allow this to work , is if every Lightning tip, 30% went to apple. And that wouldn't work either. Better just get on board with android.
So nothing has changed?
nostr:note1hsramsja4drrmzgu84nnm5rycte0gj5j8jzhutzx8rhzgnvjz6esl5kumg
At least there's lots of web based versions of Nostr such as snort. So If you don't have the funds to get an android, you can just use a browser version. Also you can get androids with great battery and camera on Amazon. Brands such as Blu, umidigi, etc.

You should contact them, apparently they have already marked #[2] on a list and they are not reviewing the changes that have already been corrected.
Take the PWA route. This won’t stop.
Why? Why continue to buy and use the products of a company that obviously hates you? Don't forget PWA's on iOS are locked to Safari 😂 who says they don't fuck with that in the future...
I use chrome. I’m I don’t think apple hates me, but it would give me more options. I’m a libertarian and a capitalist.
forbidden fruit 🍎 #[1] 
Hmmmmm! Who plays the devil’s advocate?? It’s clear, Apple wants its share of the cake!! 
They gonna keep making your life harder
Reading this I hear Tim Apple saying: “Just one more thing…”.
FFS
Crazy!
Return the app to how it was before that update and let apple go
You didn't really think they would let you get away with it, would you? 🥲
Ok. Bye Apple
Wankers
You can continue to try comply with the overlords to find out you can't over and over again, or you can start working on alternative more open solutions where overlords have no power. Brutal reality unfortunately. Time to thave low time preference also on your shiny phones.
Do not use apple
Sell your iphones and get android
More precisely: a degoogled, custom rom installed android
They want a 30% cut on all my content? Paypal only takes up to 15%. LOL Nostr without zaps⚡️is not fun at all. Its the killer app!
Probably a naive/stupid idea but how about:
- Add in-app purchase for 1000/$1, 2500/$2 and 5000/$4 "tipping tokens" (sats), respectively.
- Enable the function only if LNURL is configured.
- Auto-generate withdrawal url + invoice as post-purchase hook
- Damus gets to profit on diff on the exchange rate (minus apple cut)
- Apple gets their cut
- Apple requirements formally fulfilled
I thought about that. Just need a way to integrate with a bitcoin exchange? Then other guidelines comes into play i think
Or azteco, that's exactly what they're offering.
Could be easier with azteco, because you're just redeeming a voucher, you're not touching any exchange.
Try integrate with a DEX, then the app will nout bound to a single entity (e.g. Binance :-) )
Integration itself shouldn’t be an issue. Many exchanges provide apis. The issues are likely about the exchanging process itself though. Depending on the jurisdiction you’re in, all sorts of regulation could kick in to the point where you might need some license.
It’s all rather ludicrous, imho. If Damus was one of those pay-to-level-up type of games you could simply sell tokens or gold stars through the app store and nobody would bat an eye.
Brb going to swap phones and install grapheneOS. Fuck apple.
Maybe can hire the Wagner Group to land in the middle of Infinity Loop and overthrow Cook? 🤣🥸
Okay, maybe getting an Android phone is easier and cheaper.
Yea, the best way to change their tune is to harm their income. Give your attention and money to better alternatives 👍
Depending on where you live the Librem 5, Fairphone 3+, PinePhone, or any de-googled phone that can accept GrapheneOs or LineageOs would help move away from walled gardens.
For most at this point even a Google enabled Android phone is a better option. You can always sideload apk and reinstall with something less Googlefied down the road. A step in the right direction is better than boot licking.
Depends on the phone. Most major manufacturers make it close to impossible to change the OS in many countries.
Samsung is fully locked down here in Canada for instance.
But as you said, I can load an apk and block their tracking at least.
IMHO buy an older model, and unlocked phone on ebay. In this case it is possible that the IMEI does not belong your country.
But choose carefully, before buy, se the supported phones on the desired custom rom disgributions website.
And if you a newcomer in custom roms, buy a cheaper one. So if you make a brick from the phone you easily throw it :-)

Every dirty trick will be used to cut people off from better alternatives, no matter how innocuous.
Good news is you can get a used Google Pixel pretty cheap and flash it with Grapehene or Calyxos. Sad Apple love their Apple tax and will do anything to protect it, even when it does not make sense.
Wow’ 😯 Really??
Does apple know that they can't stop incoming zaps from other clients?
They just do what they've always been doing, restricting their own customers.
Throw out your apples
nostr:note1hsramsja4drrmzgu84nnm5rycte0gj5j8jzhutzx8rhzgnvjz6esl5kumg Apple Hypocrisy 101
Fuck #Apple, go open source!
That is… 🤨
That’s their end goal, to get a piece of every zap. $APPL can go fuck themselves
What about a company app like Square? They have the accept tips feature??? 🙄
This is a tricky one
THERE IS ZERO CORRELATIVE AND PROVABLE CONNECTION OR ASSOCIATION WITH RECEIVING DIGITAL CONTENT AFTER ZAPS 
mfers😂
So how about when you use a browser? They also facilitate these things. Maybe the way forward is to reposition this as "Nostr Browser"
the price of convenience is usually control
yes apple products are nice. but at what cost?
😤Why they gotta be so rude 😢
Give them an inch they'll take a mile.

Clearly Damus is in accordance with 3.1.1 even before the change.
developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#payments
However, it's still not great for the App Store (or Google Play) with the existing guidelines. It's an opportunity for competition like F-Driod on mobile, and it'll be great to have even more with Lightning payments integrated.
Push back and ask them to provide native bitcoin + lightning wallets on IOS, and you can find a way to integrate it. 😏
This is after removing zaps on notes? Absolute BS!
I'll be staying far away from Apple's cucked ecosystem from here on out.
Anyone have a recommendation for a tablet to replace my iPad Pro? Needs to support a pressure sensitive stylus like the Pencil.

He’s battled Apple’s App Store review process and might be able to help.
In this case Apple should pay to iPhone owners to use their mobile.
Ceterum censeo: Fuck Apple
Step by step Will. Everything will be fine.
I will be ditching Apple.
