Coinbase Calls The Purchase Of NFT Now Can't Be DONE On IOS From Apple
JAKARTA - Coinbase Global Inc stated on Thursday, December 1 that customers using iOS from Apple Inc will no longer be able to send non-exchangeable tokens (NFTs) in their wallets.
"Apple's claim is that the gas costs required to deliver NFTs must be paid through their In-App Purchase system, so they can collect 30% of the gas cost," Coinbase added in a tweet.
The cost of 30% has been a point of debate between the world's most valuable companies and developers of other apps such as Spotify and Epic Games, which accuses the company of abusing its "monopoly".
Likewise with Twitter's protests voiced by its owner, Elon Musk. In fact, he is ready to go to war with Apple to lift the rules. Musk also accused Apple of blocking Twitter on the App Store.
But the latest report, after meeting Apple CEO Tim Cook, Musk's attitude differed and admitted that he misunderstood the blocking.
While Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters, about various complaints against the 30 percent policy they implemented.
