We have to ask the question: is Apple actually this stupid? I don't particularly like or trust Coinbase, so I'm not going to take their word as gospel. I have to wonder if (a) it's an oversight, a possibility they raised in the thread (trying to give Apple an out?) or (b) there's something weirder going on that we can't figure out from outside.
- ncr100 4y agoNo. They have already thought of this scenario, years ago. Paying for GAS is paying for the computation .. which is a digital service .. which is https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#business https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#bus... what Coinbase agreed to share a portion of the money taken from customers with Apple when they published an app on the App Store. In my view, Apple is providing customers another layer of trustworthiness, since a purchase of a digital good or service is intangible .. "did anything just happen?" .. the customer has recourse via Apple for an app that theoretically abuses that "seller of digital items" relationship.
- andrewflnr 4y agoCoinbase does not decide, charge, receive, or in any way control gas fees. There's no "sharing". As I understand gas fees, they're charged directly by the decentralized network, to itself (I do know they're not "GAS"). There's literally no entity who receives gas fees and can pay Apple a cut.
