A dispute ignited on June 13 when Apple pointed out that Damus\u2019 tipping feature, known as \u2018zaps\u2019, had contravened its in-app purchase rules. Apple insisted that Damus eliminate the ability to reward content through Bitcoin (BTC) via \u2018zaps\u2019, instead of using Apple Pay.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018zaps\u2019 tipping feature, which enabled Bitcoin transactions at the post level, was viewed by Apple as a method of selling digital content. This led to the tech conglomerate threatening to oust Damus unless it complied with Apple\u2019s guidelines. The community of Bitcoin enthusiasts, including former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, were not impressed with this decision. The common consensus was that Apple\u2019s stringent rules were hampering the widespread adoption of Bitcoin.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>350% or 5BTC + <strong>150 Spins!<\/strong><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.

The company also underlined the necessity of their review process in ensuring a balanced ecosystem for developers and consumers alike.<\/p>\n<p>Canadian developer William Casarin, the creator of Damus, expressed dissatisfaction with the review process but eventually managed to reach a compromise. As a result, Damus version 1.5, which maintains the ability for users to send \u2018zaps\u2019 at a profile level, was greenlit by Apple. The posts, however, will no longer feature \u2018zaps\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Looking beyond the Apple incident, Casarin seems eager to forge ahead, focusing on introducing new features to his app. Celebrating the approval, he shared a post on the decentralized social media platform stating, \u201cDamus v1.5 approved,\u201d followed by a triumphant, \u201cOnward.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>5BTC or 111% + 111 Free Spins!<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.
