1. The decentralized exchange, Uniswap, had previously stated that Apple was not allowing their app to be listed on the App Store.
2. Uniswap claimed that Apple cited “fraudulent activity” as the reason for the rejection, but did not provide any specific details or evidence to support this claim.
3. Uniswap has since launched a web-based version of their platform, which can be accessed through any browser without the need for a downloadable app.
In September 2020, Uniswap announced that their app had been rejected by Apple for listing on the App Store. The decentralized exchange claimed that Apple cited “fraudulent activity” as the reason for the rejection, but did not provide any specific details or evidence to support this claim. Uniswap expressed frustration with the lack of transparency from Apple and suggested that the rejection may have been due to Apple’s desire to promote their own payment system, Apple Pay.
Despite the setback, Uniswap has continued to grow in popularity and has since launched a web-based version of their platform. This allows users to access Uniswap through any browser without the need for a downloadable app. While the rejection from Apple may have initially hindered Uniswap’s growth, the platform’s continued success suggests that it has not been a significant obstacle in the long run. As decentralized finance (DeFi) continues to gain traction, it will be interesting to see how traditional tech companies like Apple respond to this new and disruptive industry.
