Apple's Crypto Policy Shift: A New Era for iOS Developers
In a landmark decision on April 30, 2025, a U.S. federal court ruled that Apple must eliminate its restrictive App Store payment policies. This mandates that Apple allow app developers to direct users to external payment options without imposing commissions or fees .
In response, Apple updated its App Store guidelines, enabling developers to link to external payment systems, including those facilitating cryptocurrency transactions and NFT purchases . This change is expected to significantly benefit crypto app developers, who can now offer direct payment options without the previously mandatory 30% "Apple Tax" .
Industry experts view this shift as a substantial advancement for the crypto ecosystem on iOS, potentially leading to increased adoption of Web3 applications and services .
