Apple has unconstrained a policy update that overtly spells
out the prospective of Bitcoin transactions to take place within the company’s network.
The App Store Review Guidelines highlighted Apple’s reception
of Bitcoin apps to run on its stand so long as they are authorized to operate
in all of the territories they provide services.
The calculation of this policy gives new optimism for
developers because the Cupertino-based company has as a final point expressed
its eagerness toward changing its restraining attitude against Bitcoin and alternative
cryptocurrencies.
However, while this is encouraging news in total, some
speculators believe Apple will not agree to Bitcoin applications that transport
the currency in the App Store right away. They reckon Bitcoin is yet to be accepted
as legal by any region, so it makes it tricky to state whether or not Bitcoin
transactions will instantaneously find a position on this platform.
Nevertheless, Bitcoin apps that do not require currency transport
should not have any trouble in agreement with the App Store guidelines.
The addition of this policy is considered as a step forward
for Apple, especially after the series of adverse actions it has taken toward
virtual currencies in the past few years.
It can be recalled that Apple removed wallet apps Blockchain
and BitPak from the App Store in early 2012, with the Blockchain app reinstated
after. However, the company pulled from its store major Bitcoin wallet apps
Coinbase and Blockchain late last year, which later resulted in February video operation
that featured Apple devices being destroyed in public.
