- ceejayoz 12y agoOh, bull. It'd be significantly easier to use credit cards for IAP than Bitcoin. Apple prevents this easily with the review process.
- newman8r 12y agoyes, they require using IAP and will reject any app trying to circumvent it. I was just making the point that apple is allowing wallet apps but they're still not approving (to my knowledge) any apps that let you replace IAP functionality with crypto transfers.
- wmf 12y agoThat may be the case, but did any of the banned Bitcoin apps actually try to do IAP? How would Bitcoin IAP work, given the lack of inter-app communication in iOS?
- 0x0 12y agoIt's probably more a case of IAP being the only sanctioned way to pay for digital services inside apps, with bitcoin transactions being a way to bypass the entire 30% cut that Apple takes for IAPs.
- ceejayoz 12y agoNo more than credit cards, PayPal, etc. are. Both methods would result in your app being rejected, so Apple has nothing to fear there.
