current is a wallet 😅

I agree this applies to their calls, but if there is exclusivity implied by using TestFlight or App Store it’s definitely expressed somewhere.

since we are all reading the guidelines, I’ve also checked the tos… I’ve never seen where it says you can not concurrently use TestFlight and also distribute an .ipa file for side-loading.

I was wrong… but what did change is one tap zaps that didn’t just provide a lnbc that required you to open a App store compliant wallet.

I’m actually wrong, but still technically correct about how guidelines apply to zap splits to developer

There is no reason nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s is breaking any rules by having zaps on iOS.

Bitcoin is not legal "money". It is a "commodity"

As far as Apple is concerned, we are trading game tokens. Damus does not sell these game tokens, like how Fortnite sold V-Bucks on their website.

Damus makes absolutely no "money". They are given a digital commodity, and therefore, no monetary transactions ever take place.

but all that’s changed is damus shipped zap splits. They aren’t saying that notes are digital content… I believe they are saying damus is the digital content that is being tipped for… and they require that to be done through “in app purchases™ “

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.

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

when tips are mentioned in 3.1.1 it specifically references “to the developer” the email screen shot we’ve seen doesn’t specify… it could just be the zap splits that triggered them… as all other developers are being asked to use in app purchases to do this. Before we start to go off on if end users could trade for digital content or if a note constitutes digital content.

I like that this is not the driving force of the Japanese clients, and hope the focus stays on being great sms and being cute ピョン… but yeah, in 14 days there will be a wave of users looking to other clients, many currently want zaps. 🐰

they cited 3.1.1

but also look at

3.1.5 Cryptocurrencies:

(v) Cryptocurrency apps may not offer currency for completing tasks, such as downloading other apps, encouraging other users to download, POSTING TO SOCIAL NETWORKS, etc.

read the guidelines like you read the nips before brainstorming

Just gonna leave this here for all the people who are like “we need fdroid for iOS”

agora asks for a lot of 42s, primal does a lot of client specific, there a 10s of nostr web clients that ask for decrypting DM’s when I’m no where near the DM page, and I’m not sure I need DM’s in most if any at this point. Damus is the only app I use directly, and don’t think they use much client specific, but I’d had to explore with console to really find out.

I love that nostr:npub1tnpfz60snm7ler8k8c69335n37we6690qttl88t556yzkjxhahjq3kkkpe records data so you could perm a client for a day or some period or for ever of time and still have a backlog of what it is you’ve been signing, specially as thing update, I wanna know.

clients that constantly ask for nip 42 are extremely annoying... so is too much client specific data... I hate that it's not transparent what a mobile app is signing on my behalf.
