17:43 <stellar-slack1> <gleb> Hey guys, anyone had experience of submitting Stellar (or other cryptocurrency) app to App Store?

17:45 <stellar-slack1> <raymens> Hey, I don't you'll have a lot of trouble with that. As there are a ton of bitcoin apps now too

17:45 <stellar-slack1> <gleb> We are working on a stellar wallet ( https://lobstr.co/ ) and now are trying to publish the iOS version. Unfortunately, their review team refused the app, stating that according to 11.17: > Apps may facilitate transmission of *approved virtual currencies* provided that they do so in compliance with all state and federal laws for the territories in which the app functions

17:45 <stellar-slack1> <jed> @josh does

17:46 <stellar-slack1> <jed> what is on their list of approved ones?

17:46 <stellar-slack1> <gleb> what's the *approved virtual currencies*​ ? it's only bitcoin?

17:46 <stellar-slack1> <eva> it must not be, since Reveal was approved (with Reveal coin)

17:46 <stellar-slack1> <raymens> So I guess you'll do run into trouble :P

17:46 <stellar-slack1> <gleb> as it turns out :)

17:47 <stellar-slack1> <jed> do you also have an andriod version?

17:48 <stellar-slack1> <gleb> @jed: yeah, the moderation rules for Play market are a lot easier.

17:48 <stellar-slack1> <gleb> but, we haven't made it live yet - seems like it would make sense after the network upgrade..

17:50 <stellar-slack1> <jed> Is the wallet already working on the new API?

17:51 <stellar-slack1> <eva> http://www.coindesk.com/apples-virtual-currency-policy-update-good-bad-bitcoin/

17:52 <stellar-slack1> <gleb> @jed: not yet, we are still upgrading our back-end.

17:57 <stellar-slack1> <gleb> @eva: nope, we don't have in-app purchases or trading features..

17:57 <stellar-slack1> <jed> gleb: I'd reply and explain that yours is like the http://blockchain.info|blockchain.info app. The reviewer was probably confused

18:00 <stellar-slack1> <gleb> thanks, that makes sense. they had a few other minor points, so we'll be making new submissions soon.

18:07 <stellar-slack1> <mr_selenio> I think the problem in ios is that you probably want the app to be available in every country, and some of them dont allow bitcoin and similar cryptos, so that's what the review team is telling you when they answered that. Because there are already wallets available in ios, so the problem is not the currency, is where you want to be available

18:08 <stellar-slack1> <mr_selenio> Just research the countries where btc and others are restricted

18:08 <stellar-slack1> <mr_selenio> And take them out of the list

18:16 <stellar-slack1> <gleb> indeed, that might be the case as well - thanks.
