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

😩 can’t delete hastily posted notes.

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 just genuinely enjoy using their products. I’m not saying they are doing everything right. Sure their App Store policies are pretty lame at times. And I could name more stuff. But as an ecosystem it all just works and i love that.

Technically it’s not censorship. nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 can stay in the App Store they just want a slice of the cheese, trough in app purchases. Which is more like capitalism 😅.

I just had an idea while quoting your post. I’ll add it here as well just to be sure.

“I love Apple but this sucks big time. Is there a way to bypass this? Maybe buy Zaps/Sats trough in-app purchases. (Pre-payed Zaps). Would turn the App Store in a to a Bitcoin exchange 😂. This would allow @jb55 to make some money as well. Maybe powered by a non custodial exchange (bisq?) in the background? Don’t know exactly how that would work but this might be something to explore.”
