Just had a call from Apple’s review team… they are being adamant about not approving Nymchat because one small part of it allows accessing purchased AI credits for Nymbot outside of their in-app purchasing system. I already removed all ability to purchase at all in the iOS app and removed any call to action button. So, I either need to fully remove access to purchased credits for Nymbot even if they were purchased through the website with nothing to do with Apple in the Nymchat app, or integrate in-app purchases. Such a goddamn pita…

Fuck apple. Your time and skills are better spent on real users
They heard ai and said gimmie money
Ditch Apple once and for all.
iOS users need Nymchat
Apple, where you just get a bite of your own work
Use apple pay instead of IAP so that apple gets a smaller cut.
Push back is still possible, but the ground has shifted. The injunction that briefly forced zero commission was partly reversed in December 2025, and the appeals court said Apple may collect a reasonable fee on purchases made through external links. The case is back in district court now, so the fee amount is still being argued.
The public humiliation will continue until people stop developing for Apple.
