After the court ruling on #苹果放宽加密规则 this week, Apple updated the iOS App Store review guidelines on May 3, easing restrictions for developers in the U.S. App Store. Previously, Apple lost the antitrust case against Epic Games, with the court ruling that it "intentionally" violated a 2021 injunction that prohibited Apple from charging a 27% fee on external payments and limited certain behaviors. Against this backdrop, the new rules allow developers to offer external payment methods within their apps and support users in purchasing non-fungible tokens (NFTs) through third-party markets.

Despite the easing of measures, cryptocurrency apps still need to comply with Apple's strict regulations, including prohibiting the rewarding of tokens for completing tasks, initial coin offerings (ICOs), and using user devices for mining. Although this easing primarily targets the U.S. region and does not apply to in-app premium content or in-game purchases, developers believe this provides more experimental space for crypto-native mobile applications, potentially driving innovation and development in related fields within the Apple ecosystem.
