They removed the "sending" feature during the review process, because the app probably got rejected for having that feature. So, the question is why does Apple

  As I mentioned in the previous thread: Don't mistake to maliciousness what can be attributed to naievity. The reason Apple has issues with other payment methods on their App Store is that they can't control them. Meaning, they can't ensure the user experiance they would like to, and when things go wrong, they can't fix it. Apple's userbase is so large and diverse now that users blame things on Apple that shouldnt (e.g. they loose money through bitcoin they used with an iPhone app, Apple gets blamed ). This is their way of minimising that.

    Also on top of controlling the experience Apple probably doesn't mind the percent of all transactions they get for providing that mandatory control. Apple will allow bitcoin transaction apps when they can control the transactions to a similar degree they currently control other monetary in app transactions, and will likely ensure they make a similar percent on each transaction. I don't see this as Apple being sneaky or evil, I see it as Apple pursuing their existing business model, which has worked quite well.

      There is no evidence that Apple doesn't like these apps because they aren't able to recoup fees, there already exist iOS apps that let you move money from one person to another without Apple getting involved at all. For example, I often use my bank's app to move money to and from my roommate. I should note that this involves no transaction cost at all.
