Wondering what the odds are that Apple allows Twetch to have an iOS app?

Any reason why they wouldn't allow it?

If I remember correctly Apple has rules that require some level of censorship on social networks but @3 may be able to clarify.

I was thinking more on apple's restrictions to the payments side of things

I'll bet we are able to get it done though 💪

From Apple's Developer Guidelines:
Section 3.1.5(b) "Cryptocurrencies"
(v) Cryptocurrency apps may not OFFER currency for completing tasks such as... posting to social networks.

Twetch likely passes this test but maybe not $AAPLs demand for in-app payment

Apples Developer guidelines specifically mention social ntwks wrt not allowing DOS-like pay-for-posts shennanigans. While @852 -style micropayments would pass the spirit of their law, it's Apples demand devs us "In-App Purchase" system = potential problem

Full PWA support is going to be important in case of and issues that Apple might have

Gonna hate meself in the mornin for raining on optimism, but Apple is the absolute LAST company in world gonna be friendly to the PWA/JavaScript/React-Native/Flutter crowds. This is just a prediction & warning-- feel free to ignore (but note). Hope I wrong

I guess we need to make some friends :) 🍎

You are not wrong and issues w/ iOS are the main reason Twetch PWA is not a thing right now - their support is awful

Ultimately we’ll want bitcoin native mobile devices

Indeed.
Best hope is by June they follow up WWDCs CryptoKit with SOME type of ‘In-App CryptoPayments’ (Likely follow well beaten Dorsey path of unsubstantiated btc love). Then we mite need to rely on CSW gettin some actual respect in the communy he founded

Good.
What’s your thoughts on the 30% cut they will want if they one day fully embrace getting paid in cryptocurrencies for In-App Twetching? Makes me think $AAPL will need become a specialized miner to b a better metaNetizen.
