Metamask Ethereum Wallet Briefly Removed from Apple’s App Store
Apple's App Store briefly removed the MetaMask Ethereum wallet on 14 October, causing concerns about its permanent removal. MetaMask is integral to Web3 decentralised applications (DApps) and it boasts around 30 Million users globally. A spokesperson of Metamask clarified that this removal was not due to any security issues or malicious activity. Rather, it appears to be a result of Apple's policies, which prohibit unrelated background activities, such as cryptocurrency mining. Providentially this removal was temporary and Metamask was reinstalled on the app store. This episode underscores that crypto-related apps encounter persistent difficulties when it comes to complying with the strict regulations set by tech giants like Apple, which also involve sharing 30% of transaction revenues.
