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

Despite the easing of restrictions, cryptocurrency applications still need to adhere to Apple's strict regulations, including prohibiting token rewards for completing tasks, initial coin offerings (ICOs), and using user devices for mining. Although this relaxation 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, which is expected to drive innovation and development in related fields within the Apple ecosystem.
