Apple's App Store Policies Upheld in Epic Games Appeal
TL;DR Summary
A California court has ruled that Apple's policy of barring app developers from using alternative in-app payment methods apart from its own, which includes a 30% commission, violates state competition laws. The decision may benefit cryptocurrency and nonfungible token (NFT) projects by allowing them to add more functionality to their iOS apps. The ruling was made in the case of Apple vs Epic Games, and if Apple doesn't appeal the decision, it could set a case law precedent benefiting creators of crypto and NFT apps because they won't be subject to Apple's 30% "tax."
