After the court ruling this week, Apple updated its iOS App Store review guidelines on May 3, easing restrictions for developers in the U.S. App Store. Previously, Apple lost in the Epic Games antitrust case, with the court ruling that it 'intentionally' violated a 2021 injunction that prohibited Apple from charging a 27% fee on out-of-app payments and restricted redirect behavior. Against this backdrop, the new rules allow developers to offer external payment methods within their apps and also support users in purchasing non-fungible tokens (NFTs) through third-party markets.
