Im probably paranoid but I want to hear more refuting tje potential for Apple to link your npub to your Apple ID. I dont claim it does but i worry it may? Could Apple link purchased sats through Primal to the npub profile wallet they are being delivered to? I dont know the technicals how this would work. I just want to protect privacy.

You just don’t buy sats directly inside the app. It’s a normal lightning wallet, so you can send sats from your other Ln wallets. As mail address you can make a completely new one that’s isn’t linked in any way to you. Then there is no obvious way for Apple to know your npub. If there is a way, then the same applies to Damus
I actually used the Hide My Email feature of Apple. This should be encrypted, but obviously there is a chance that Apple holds a key for decryption. But I am not that paranoid.
I was just going through the code looking at this. I don’t see why your npub would be disclosed to Apple from what I’m seeing.
But, it might reveal your information to Primal and/or Strike.
