Would you post a question to our community to see if there is someone who is willing to dig around in the apple guidelines to find a way to still have zaps but comply with guidelines?

Maybe the zapping button takes you to a web-frontend in Safari where the actual zapping takes place? (like when you zap when using iris.to? ) Just a thought...

This is already how it works on the app store. Zapping happens outside the app.

Apple selectively enforcing rules as per usual. You can send Bitcoin tips on Twitter today with Strike and they don’t ask for a cut

Absolutely. Could we find someone at Apple’s to understand that?

Too early to know, but is this just a misunderstanding of how one tap zaps work?

Take it to court while collecting your dev power and creating a decentralized appstore

We must not give us so easily. There has to be actions we can take to help nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s

There has to be a way. I wonder if the suggestion to remove one-click zaps via NWC is something Apple would accept?

Basically, all wallet apps allow for payments so they must have some loop hole for that.

This review was on the appstore version which doesn’t have NWC

Shit. Ok. Sounds like it’d be worth trying to work contacts to see if you can get more clarity on the boundaries of the rules.

There are plenty of wallet apps that let you pay for things, there must be a way.

They specifically call out that Tips are fine in their guidelines... Maybe you can help clarify that zaps are the same thing?

https://void.cat/d/yfBAw3Geuo3XMc3PXVuWk.webp

the timing of zaps splits and how “tips” in the guidelines is associated with “to the developer” although not expressly stated in the screen shot email, makes me think this might be what triggered them.

nostr:note1g7x2njcv8yq5zedu3wyunl6xgeglzxsg5dcscj8ufpz2dt8h9m7qpam7wn

just to clarify that says you have to use “in-app purchase™ ” to receive tips as a developer… you may receive tips but it has to be through the App Store. “May” just refers to its ok if you do it through the App Store, in the paragraph above it says “may not” use other forms.

yes the app store is like reading the tea leaves as there are people inside apple “interpreting” the rules just the same…

The trick is to send apple some $ from what I understand

I am sure there are more tricks but….

Getting to a human apple regulator would be the real deal

maybe
