On May 3, #苹果放宽加密规则 Apple updated its App Store review guidelines, easing restrictions on 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 off-app payments and restricted redirect behavior. 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 measures, cryptocurrency apps still need to comply with Apple’s strict regulations, including prohibitions on rewarding tokens for completing tasks, conducting initial coin offerings (ICOs), and using user devices for mining. Although this easing mainly targets the U.S. region and does not apply to in-app premium content or in-game purchases, developers believe it provides more experimental space for crypto-native mobile applications, potentially driving innovation and development in related fields within the Apple ecosystem.
