  • "Just received a call from Apple, I have to remove zaps from posts in the next version," said the app's developer Fabian.
  • Identically to the Damus situation, Nostur is being asked to remove zaps from user notes or integrate Apple's in-app purchases in accordance with the App Store guideline 3.1.1.
