Apple updated the rules of the App Store, specifying that NFT and cryptocurrencies can be purchased only through the internal mechanisms of the app store.

Developers were banned from circumventing commissions and redirecting users to third-party resources.

In the rules update, the company told developers that they are prohibited from placing links to external resources in their apps to purchase cryptocurrencies and NFTs. Only the App Store's built-in payment system can be used for sales, which includes a 30% commission on each purchase.

The company emphasized that the internal payment system helps make transactions securely and ensures the privacy of user data. Third-party resources, Apple said, could be vulnerable.
