After 2 weeks of back-and-forth, I felt that we need to talk publicly about this to raise awareness.<\/p>\n<p>See the thread for details and why this might affect other wallets and apps as well. <\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Lukas Schor | Gnosis Safe (@SchorLukas) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SchorLukas\/status\/1437728066218958850?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 14, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>While the app is still listed in the store along with the image displaying the NFT, it appears that Apple is blocking the update due to its guidelines around digital content. <\/p>\n<p>According to screenshots he shared of Gnosis\u2019 correspondence with Apple support over email, the tech giant stated that while \u201cNFTs are not mentioned specifically\u201d in its guidelines, apps are not allowed to provide access to \u201cpreviously purchased digital content\u201d bought outside of the app store. <\/p>\n<p>This essentially means that apps cannot provide any NFT-related services unless they are integrated with Apple payment methods.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you choose not to implement in-app purchase, it would be appropriate to revise your app so that does not access previously purchased digital content,\u201d the email concluded. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u26d4\ufe0f This shows how access to Web3 still relies heavily on gatekeepers like Apple<br \/>\u2757\ufe0f It&#8217;s an industry problem, as the same arguments apply to any wallet displaying NFTs or <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s making use of NFTs<br \/> We need to find better ways to make Web3 accessible on mobile permissionlessly<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Lukas Schor | Gnosis Safe (@SchorLukas) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SchorLukas\/status\/1437728092412420096?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 14, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Schor stated that Gnosis will submit an appeal over the decision as he called on Apple to clarify its guidelines around NFTs. He also suggested that the firm has no plans to walk back its NFT support in its app: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cPermissionless access to Web3 is core to our values, so we are willing to go the extra mile to clear this up. Simply removing NFTs from our app  is definitely not an option for us.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Apple currently prohibits the inclusion of payment rails beyond those offered by the firm in apps listed in its store. While Gnosis doesn\u2019t sell NFTs in its app, Apple charges a flat 30% commission of in-app purchases of digital goods and services. <\/p>\n<p>This policy may not last for much longer however, as Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/21060628-epic-apple-injunction\">issued<\/a> a permanent injunction in the Epic Games vs Apple case on Sept.10 that will potentially see a major change to the app store. <\/p>\n<p>Epic Games, the creators of widely popular online game Fortnite built its own in-game payment system last year to circumvent Apple\u2019s in-app payment system, which resulted in the game being delisted from the App-store. <\/p>\n<p>In August 2020, Epic took legal action against Apple and specifically took aim against the firm\u2019s in-app payments policies. <\/p>\n<p>In Judge Rogers\u2019 first ruling on the case on Friday, she issued an order for Apple to allow alternate payment options in apps listed on its store, with the injunction set to go into effect on Dec. 9, 2021 \u2014 unless it is enjoined by a higher court. <\/p>\n<p><template data-name=\"subscription_form\" data-type=\"markets_outlook\"><\/template><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
