Can’t you just put your WOS name in bio and circumvent?

An interesting development...

Maybe inside the lightning icon?

Damus can keep the zap button on the profile but not notes. It is considered “selling digital content” if its on notes 😕

The problem is that Apple still wants to call it a transaction, I'm sure Apple would bitch if Feed The Children or some other donation app didn't use Apple for donations.

I wonder if there's some to be said about the fact it's not "money", like how would Apple want you to deal with that...

What if Apple sold me the zaps, could I then use them in the app? 🤔

3.1 Payments

3.1.1 In-App Purchase:

If you want to unlock features or functionality within your app, (by way of example: subscriptions, in-game currencies, game levels, access to premium content, or unlocking a full version), you must use in-app purchase. Apps may not use their own mechanisms to unlock content or functionality, such as license keys, augmented reality markers, QR codes, cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrency wallets, etc. Apps and their metadata may not include buttons, external links, or other calls to action that direct customers to purchasing mechanisms other than in-app purchase, except as set forth in 3.1.3(a).

Apps may use in-app purchase currencies to enable customers to “tip” the developer or digital content providers in the app.

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.

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.

Apps distributed via the Mac App Store may host plug-ins or extensions that are enabled with mechanisms other than the App Store.

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.

Digital gift cards, certificates, vouchers, and coupons which can be redeemed for digital goods or services can only be sold in your app using in-app purchase. Physical gift cards that are sold within an app and then mailed to customers may use payment methods other than in-app purchase.

Non-subscription apps may offer a free time-based trial period before presenting a full unlock option by setting up a Non-Consumable IAP item at Price Tier 0 that follows the naming convention: “XX-day Trial.” Prior to the start of the trial, your app must clearly identify its duration, the content or services that will no longer be accessible when the trial ends, and any downstream charges the user would need to pay for full functionality. Learn more about managing content access and the duration of the trial period using Receipts and Device Check.

Apps may use in-app purchase to sell and sell services related to non-fungible tokens (NFTs), such as minting, listing, and transferring. Apps may allow users to view their own NFTs, provided that NFT ownership does not unlock features or functionality within the app. Apps may allow users to browse NFT collections owned by others, provided that the apps may not include buttons, external links, or other calls to action that direct customers to purchasing mechanisms other than in-app purchase.

Maybe someday in the future once I get a better feel for Nostr. I do not feel deserving of any Zaps yet. Give them to someone who contributes more than a newb like me :)

I have been on here for a total of 20minutes and have received more love and interaction on my post than I have seen on anything I have posted on the internet since the pre google years of YouTube. How did I not know about this?

The content is already available before you can zap it

I have no idea. They seem to be implying the tip (zap) feature in general is unacceptable

It’s a weak distinction, but tipping on a profile vs tipping on a piece of content would appear to be the one that someone at Apple is attempting to make.

It wouldn’t be an issue if Damus wasn’t a popular app. Now that it is they want their cut.

Those are not normal people 😂

How bingos the cut that Damus gets?

It’s a marketing channel that happens to have the most users out of any for iOS.

Gotta be where people are.

I understand your position, but I'd rather use Nostr on Iris in a web browser on iphone (or use Android or desktop) and send zaps that way to enjoy the full functionality of Nostr. It seems like capitulating to me to say "okay, we won't express value on a system that was designed to allow us to express value."
