I guess it may be tricky to get SafeApp into the Apple store.

@moderators might be worth spinning this into a new topic as I think it’s a useful thing to capture: What if Apple/Google ban SafeApp?
yeah, my 1. thought was also that Safe isn’t gone to be allowed on iStuff devices after i read that fortnite was kicked from the apple app store for using a custom payment solution and not the “intended” apple pay (or what ever its name is).
When you buy products from amazon using their iApp apple don’t take a cut.
When you buy products from ebay using their iApp apple don’t get a cut from that either.
It’s a blurred line.
You can buy e-products on amazon that are delivered to your kindle and to the amazon app.
Thinking "How do we make that a good thing 
"
Absolutely. It was always going to be an issue at some point (and with Android). What’s the point of imprisoning users if you can’t use that to maximise profits or pursue some other commercial imperative.
We need to consider this and how we can make use of the fact.
It certainly doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. I suggest that we make preparations on this basis, for example to be ready to change how we do things. We can consider what features we expect and be ready to to modify the UX to ensure it is still a good experience that helps adoption. Also, how we can use the issue to show the contrast between the walled garden and the Safe Network.
This phase was always going to come, and watching how this plays out now allows us to prepare.
Nah, see above
Noting that there is an iOS Onion browser, would indicate to me that read only access might at least be a start: so browser, private data viewer, remote vault monitoring etc.
Yes, we do have alternatives. Web based apps, usually means a server is involved. So controlled by a person/corp and can be subjected to spying via agencies etc. However Safe Network is a huge server with no controlling influences.
So a Safe Network browser absolutely should be cool. If some “sites” in the network allow login (get my keys), pay folk, access apps etc. then that’s cool.
However we could go further than this, it could be interesting in many ways. If the browser was banned then … round 2.
Safe though is a utility token and that may also make a difference, but it would seem to put us in fortnite territory. Imagine though apple users could not access the internet, it could push back on them in a giant slaying way.
That’s very useful, and we can learn from your experience as well as others including the above crypto app, and I think the litigation by Fortnight makers which they have deliberately triggered.
Does this suggest we should start with something innocuous and gradually add capabilities to see what happens? I imagine that being under the radar will help too.
Aye, those two points on twitter to me read like “no vault” and no “no defi apps”. Any app could have a SAFE login to do your safey things (including write), so long as you’re not earning on the device itself.
I read part of that thread as a ‘no-dice’ for the Safe Network app though, i.e. they don’t like an app that ca link through to other apps/sites that might do bad-apple stuff.
This would be a bit of an inconvenience for folk, and they wouldn’t get a consistent experience cross platform, but not a deal breaker.
Yeh, I’d agree
Not to mention that all countries and EU are pushing hard at Google and Apple for antitrust violations. Might be a good time to support such movements.
