蘋果必須刪除阻止開發人員使用外部付款鏈接的限制

2025年4月30日，美國地方法院法官伊馮·岡薩雷斯·羅傑斯（Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers）裁定，蘋果必須取消阻止開發商使用外部付款鏈接的限制。

U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers has ordered Apple to remove restrictions that blocked developers from using external payment links, as reported by Decrypt. The ruling, made on April 30, 2025, confirms that Apple violated a 2021 injunction issued during its legal dispute with Epic Games.

根據解密的報導，美國地方法院法官伊馮·岡薩雷斯·羅傑斯（Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers）已下令蘋果（Apple）取消限制，以阻止開發商使用外部付款鏈接。該裁決於2025年4月30日作出，證實蘋果違反了在與Epic Games的法律糾紛期間發出的2021年禁令。

The judge had previously mandated Apple to allow direct links to external crypto payment methods in its App Store apps by May 1, 2024. However, Apple introduced new measures to hinder these links, such as warning screens and redirects, rendering them largely unusable.

法官此前曾要求蘋果公司在2024年5月1日之前在其應用商店應用程序中直接鏈接到外部加密付款方式。但是，蘋果採取了新的措施來阻礙這些鏈接，例如警告屏幕和重定向，使它們在很大程度上不可用。

These actions were deemed in conflict with the previous court order, which mandated Apple to cease any conduct that would impede or impair the goal of the injunction.

這些行動被視為與以前的法院命令相抵觸，該命令要求蘋果停止任何會阻礙或損害禁令目標的行為。

“Apple, despite knowing its obligations thereunder, thwarted the Injunction’s goals, and continued its anticompetitive conduct solely to maintain its revenue stream,” the ruling stated.

該裁決說：“儘管蘋果知道其履行其義務，但仍挫敗了禁令的目標，並繼續其反競爭行為僅僅是為了維持其收入來源。”

The order now stops Apple from charging a fee or creating any new technical obstacle for off-app payments. This includes payments using digital assets like Ethereum (ETH), USD Coin (USDC), and Solana (SOL).

現在，該訂單阻止蘋果收取費用或為外應用付款造成任何新的技術障礙。這包括使用以太坊（ETH），美元硬幣（USDC）和Solana（Sol）等數字資產的付款。

After the court ruling, Apple updated its App Store guidelines to include external payment links in iOS apps, subject to specific conditions.

法院裁決後，蘋果更新了其App Store指南，以在iOS應用中包括外部付款鏈接，但要遵守特定條件。

“Apps may allow users to browse NFT collections owned by others, provided that, except for apps on the United States storefront, the apps may not include buttons, external links, or other calls to action that direct customers to purchasing mechanisms other than in-app purchase,” the updated guideline states.

更新的指南規定：“如果在美國店面上的應用程序除外，這些應用程序可能不包括按鈕，外部鏈接或其他呼叫的呼叫，該應用程序將指向客戶以外的購買機制以外的購買機制以外的購買機制。”

This specifies that only apps on the U.S. storefront can now add external payment links. Developers can thus avoid Apple’s 30% in-app purchase commission by guiding users to outside payment options, including those using cryptocurrencies.

這說明只有在美國店面上的應用程序現在可以添加外部付款鏈接。因此，開發人員可以通過指導用戶進行外部付款選項（包括使用加密貨幣的付款方式）來避免Apple的30％應用內購買委員會。

The update has implications for all iOS developers working on apps with digital payment features. Crypto apps can now introduce new tools and payment models using crypto payments without being limited by Apple’s internal system.

此更新對所有具有數字付款功能的應用程序的iOS開發人員都有影響。加密應用程序現在可以使用加密付款來引入新的工具和付款模型，而不會受到蘋果內部系統的限制。

Apple's guideline changes also affect how developers use non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in iOS apps. Prior to this ruling, Apple had limited NFT-based features that could be unlocked through token ownership.

蘋果的指南變化還會影響開發人員在iOS應用中使用不可殺菌令牌（NFTS）的方式。在執行此裁決之前，Apple具有有限的基於NFT的功能，這些功能可以通過令牌所有權解鎖。

Now, developers have more leeway to create NFT iOS apps that unlock specific app features through token ownership, in line with the updated App Store policy. The policy allows browsing of NFT collections and, for U.S.-based apps, also enables direct access to NFT purchases through external payment links.

現在，開發人員有更多的餘地來創建NFT iOS應用程序，該應用程序與更新的App Store策略一致，通過令牌所有權通過令牌所有權解鎖特定的應用程序。該策略允許瀏覽NFT收集，對於基於美國的應用程序，還可以通過外部付款鏈接直接訪問NFT購買。

Previously, apps needed to redirect users to external browsers for any NFT transactions. This ruling removes that limitation.

以前，應用需要將用戶重定向到任何NFT交易的外部瀏覽器。這項裁決消除了這一限制。

The ruling expands what developers can build with NFT iOS apps, as they can now easily tie together specific app features with NFT ownership, creating new possibilities within Apple's ecosystem.

該裁決擴大了開發人員可以使用NFT iOS應用程序構建的內容，因為它們現在可以輕鬆地將特定應用程序功能與NFT所有權聯繫在一起，從而在Apple的生態系統中創造了新的可能性。

While developers now have greater freedom with crypto payments, users will still need to undergo Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures to buy tokens. KYC usually involves providing personal identification documents and other details for verification, which can add friction, especially for new crypto users.

儘管開發人員現在通過加密付款具有更大的自由度，但用戶仍然需要了解您的客戶（KYC）程序才能購買令牌。 KYC通常涉及提供個人身份證明文檔和其他詳細信息以進行驗證，這可能會增加摩擦，尤其是對於新的加密用戶。

The ruling paves the way for smoother integration of crypto wallets and other Web3 services into iOS apps, but the initial onboarding process remains largely outside Apple's control.

該裁決為將加密錢包和其他Web3服務整合到iOS應用程序中的整合鋪平了道路，但是最初的入門過程仍在很大程度上仍然超出了Apple的控制之外。

Crypto users will still need to rely on external exchanges or wallets to obtain assets like ETH, USDC, or SOL before they can be used in apps, despite the ruling allowing for direct use of these assets in an app after a user has already purchased them.

加密用戶仍然需要依靠外部交易所或錢包來獲取ETH，USDC或SOL等資產，然後才能在應用程序中使用，儘管裁決允許用戶已經購買了這些資產在應用程序中直接使用這些資產。

Developers building NFT iOS apps and other crypto services will continue to operate within the constraints of these KYC requirements, even with the updated Apple App Store guidelines.

即使使用更新的Apple App Store指南，開發人員構建NFT iOS應用程序和其他加密服務也將繼續在這些KYC要求的限制內運行。
