#AppleCryptoUpdate Apple updated its iOS App Store review guidelines on May 3 following a court ruling this week, giving developers in the United States more flexibility. The new guidelines allow developers to offer external in-app payment methods and allow users to purchase NFTs through third-party marketplaces. However, cryptocurrency-related apps still have to comply with Apple's strict regulations. This includes prohibiting the offering of tokens for completing tasks, prohibiting ICOs, and not allowing the use of user devices for cryptocurrency mining. These changes reflect Apple’s adjustment to the growing trend of the cryptocurrency and NFT market. However, the strict regulations still show Apple’s caution in this regard. Allowing external payments and NFT purchases can promote innovation in the technology sector while ensuring user safety.
