苹果必须删除阻止开发人员使用外部付款链接的限制

2025年4月30日，美国地方法院法官伊冯·冈萨雷斯·罗杰斯（Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers）裁定，苹果必须取消阻止开发商使用外部付款链接的限制。

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.

根据解密的报道，美国地方法院法官伊冯·冈萨雷斯·罗杰斯（Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers）已下令苹果（Apple）取消限制，以阻止开发商使用外部付款链接。该裁决于2025年4月30日作出，证实苹果违反了在与Epic Games的法律纠纷期间发出的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.

法官此前曾要求苹果公司在2024年5月1日之前在其应用商店应用程序中直接链接到外部加密付款方式。但是，苹果采取了新的措施来阻碍这些链接，例如警告屏幕和重定向，使它们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.

这些行动被视为与以前的法院命令相抵触，该命令要求苹果停止任何会阻碍或损害禁令目标的行为。

“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.

该裁决说：“尽管苹果知道其履行其义务，但仍挫败了禁令的目标，并继续其反竞争行为仅仅是为了维持其收入来源。”

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).

现在，该订单阻止苹果收取费用或为外应用付款造成任何新的技术障碍。这包括使用以太坊（ETH），美元硬币（USDC）和Solana（Sol）等数字资产的付款。

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

法院裁决后，苹果更新了其App Store指南，以在iOS应用中包括外部付款链接，但要遵守特定条件。

“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.

更新的指南规定：“如果在美国店面上的应用程序除外，这些应用程序可能不包括按钮，外部链接或其他呼叫的呼叫，该应用程序将指向客户以外的购买机制以外的购买机制以外的购买机制。”

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.

这说明只有在美国店面上的应用程序现在可以添加外部付款链接。因此，开发人员可以通过指导用户进行外部付款选项（包括使用加密货币的付款方式）来避免Apple的30％应用内购买委员会。

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.

此更新对所有具有数字付款功能的应用程序的iOS开发人员都有影响。加密应用程序现在可以使用加密付款来引入新的工具和付款模型，而不会受到苹果内部系统的限制。

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.

苹果的指南变化还会影响开发人员在iOS应用中使用不可杀菌令牌（NFTS）的方式。在执行此裁决之前，Apple具有有限的基于NFT的功能，这些功能可以通过令牌所有权解锁。

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.

现在，开发人员有更多的余地来创建NFT iOS应用程序，该应用程序与更新的App Store策略一致，通过令牌所有权通过令牌所有权解锁特定的应用程序。该策略允许浏览NFT收集，对于基于美国的应用程序，还可以通过外部付款链接直接访问NFT购买。

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

以前，应用需要将用户重定向到任何NFT交易的外部浏览器。这项裁决消除了这一限制。

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.

该裁决扩大了开发人员可以使用NFT iOS应用程序构建的内容，因为它们现在可以轻松地将特定应用程序功能与NFT所有权联系在一起，从而在Apple的生态系统中创造了新的可能性。

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.

尽管开发人员现在通过加密付款具有更大的自由度，但用户仍然需要了解您的客户（KYC）程序才能购买令牌。 KYC通常涉及提供个人身份证明文档和其他详细信息以进行验证，这可能会增加摩擦，尤其是对于新的加密用户。

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.

该裁决为将加密钱包和其他Web3服务整合到iOS应用程序中的整合铺平了道路，但是最初的入门过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.

加密用户仍然需要依靠外部交易所或钱包来获取ETH，USDC或SOL等资产，然后才能在应用程序中使用，尽管裁决允许用户已经购买了这些资产在应用程序中直接使用这些资产。

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，开发人员构建NFT iOS应用程序和其他加密服务也将继续在这些KYC要求的限制内运行。
