Apple blocked Gnosis Safe wallet update for hosting NFTs. Apple has stopped the addition of a new version of Gnosis Safe mobile Ethereum wallet to its marketplace to store NFTs. The manager of the blockchain startup product, Lukas Schor published this on Twitter. He mentioned that the earlier added NFT storage operation did not cause any disapproval from the company. The look of connecting Ledger Nano X through Bluetooth to the application was able to obliged Apple employees to focus on the ability of Gnosis Safe. The company mentioned” we realized that your app consists of or enters paid digital component, services or performance by purposes differs in-app buying, which is not suitable for the App Store.” At the time that the app is still listed in the store as well as the image showing the NFT, it seems that Apple is blocking the update because of its rules about digital subject.
On the basis of screenshots he shared of Apple-backed Gnosis correspondence via email, the tech giant said that while “NFTs are not specifically mentioned in their guidelines,”apps are not allowed to give access to “previously purchased digital content” that was purchased outside of the app store. Actually, this means that apps can not give any NFT- related service until they are combined with Apple payment system. Apple has now banned the use of payment rails beyond those given by the company in the apps included in its store. While Gnosis does not sell NFT in its app, Apple receives a 30% commission on in-app purchases of digital goods and services. Yet, this strategy may not last long, as Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers on Friday issued a long-term injunction in the Epic Games v. Apple has announced that it will potentially see an important change in the App Store.
