MetaMask co-founder: Ready to abandon the Apple ecosystem and fight against the Apple tax alongside Coinbase
ChainCatcher news, MetaMask co-founder Dan Finlay expressed on social media his support for the cryptocurrency industry to completely abandon the Apple App Store, stating that its 30% in-app purchase tax is a manifestation of Apple's "abuse of monopoly." Dan Finlay called for the crypto industry to unite, or else MetaMask and all other wallets would be subject to this.
Dan Finlay stated: "As of now, Metamask is still listed in the App Store, but we will closely monitor the situation in the coming weeks and months to ensure users continue to access their crypto assets without restrictions."
ChainCatcher reported on December 2 that Coinbase Wallet stated that due to Apple's requirement that Coinbase Wallet iOS must use its in-app purchase system to pay for the Gas fees required to send NFTs, in order to charge a 30% fee, the current proprietary in-app purchase system from Apple does not support crypto applications, making this issue unsolvable. Therefore, Apple has blocked the release of its new version, preventing users from sending NFTs using the Coinbase Wallet iOS version. (source link)
