#AppleCryptoUpdate Apple has adjusted its App Store policies following a legal ruling requiring the removal of restrictions on external purchases. Previously, developers were prohibited from directing users to outside payment options, but the court deemed these restrictions unlawful.

Now, app creators can freely provide buttons, links, and messaging to external payment platforms without needing Apple’s approval. Additionally, Apple can no longer impose commissions on these transactions or display discouraging warnings about them.

While Apple has complied with the court order, it intends to challenge the ruling. Epic Games, which led the fight against these restrictions, considers the decision a win for developers and consumers and plans to relaunch Fortnite on the U.S. App Store.

This change could influence global App Store policies, potentially benefiting developers beyond the U.S. depending on the appeal outcome.
