On May 2nd, according to The Verge, Epic Games v. Apple Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled that Apple can no longer charge fees for out-of-app purchases, effective immediately, and prohibited the company from restricting the way developers guide users to make purchases outside the app. Apple said it would appeal the ruling. Epic Games will bring "Fortnite" back to the US App Store "next week".
In addition, according to the Apple Developer Notice, app review guidelines have been updated to comply with U.S. court decisions regarding buttons, external links, and other calls to action in apps. The guidelines 3.1.1 that apps can use in-app purchases to sell and sell services related to non-fungible tokens (NFTs), such as minting, listing, and transfers. Apps may not contain buttons, external links, or other calls to action that direct users to purchase mechanisms other than in-app purchases, except for apps in the U.S. Store.

Crypto API development company Crossmint commented that the ruling is significant for cryptocurrencies: applications can now directly sell NFTs, tokens, and digital assets and retain 100% of their revenue.
