how so

In what way?

I have not heard it said! Tell me more plz

What are you going to do about all of those, 'unlicenced money transmitters'.

Apps can use other payment methods for digital goods, effective immediately. This has been a hinderance for zaps in Nostr apps.

Hmm, this language of "outside the app" is not very promising.

Re-submit that shit ASAP!

Apps can use other payment methods for digital goods, effective immediately. And no cut given to Apple. There are implementation details to figure out, but this reduces friction considerably.

I thought this was specifically for payments OUTSIDE the app.

time to remerge the code and resubmit!

Looks like a very limited thing, apple still plan to take a cut, and will limit how and where links to exterior payment mechanisms can be used. Reading that through it doesn't look like it enables zaps.

It is, but you've always been able to spend "fake app money" within the app as long as it was purchased using IAP or outside the app. Sats are often already acquired outside the app. Might need to do some trial and error with the App Review team, but zaps should be allowed now.

i had the same thought, but still maybe worth a shot

Not exactly. Apple isn't allowed to tell app devs where they can and can't put purchase links. You can make the IAP non-existent from a user standpoint.

My thoughts exactly, they will be overwhelmed with requests so now is the time to strike.

from my interpretation based on what they've told me, its not how you get them but how you use them (like when buying other things with them or zapping)

Then how do Audible credits work? I buy them outside the app and use them inside. Same for game gems that let you speed up in-game production. I might need to look into those use cases more.

hmm who knows, maybe they lied to me

maybe it has to be more like this? View quoted note → maybe its the fact its cryptocurrency is the issue? its all so vague.

we'll still try and see what happens

Ahhh! Thanks! I saw something about this today, come to think of it! (As much as I detest Patreon, here's what I saw about it)

The Verge

Patreon will update its iPhone app to sidestep Apple’s payment system

“This is a huge moment for creators and their businesses.”

But the language of Apple not taking a % is

These were the 6 things as far as I can see: ---------- Here are the terms that Apple must adhere to: 1. Imposing any commission or any fee on purchases that consumers make outside an app, and as a consequence thereof, no reason exists to audit, monitor, track or require developers to report purchases or any other activity that consumers make outside an app; 2. Restricting or conditioning developers' style, language, formatting, quantity, flow or placement of links for purchases outside an app; 3. Prohibiting or limiting the use of buttons or other calls to action, or otherwise conditioning the content, style, language, formatting, flow or placement of these devices for purchases outside an app; 4. Excluding certain categories of apps and developers from obtaining link access; 5. Interfering with consumers' choice to proceed in or out of an app by using anything other than a neutral message apprising users that they are going to a third-party site; 6. Restricting a developer's use of dynamic links that bring consumers to a specific product page in a logged-in state rather than to a statically defined page, including restricting apps from passing on product details, user details or other information that refers to the user intending to make a purchase; ---------- Nothing in there about not taking a cut from in app purchases.
