In a major development, Coinbase Wallet has issued a statement where it states, Apple has blocked their latest app release, which has led to users not being able to send their NFTs. As per Coinbase’s announcement, Apple has claimed that the gas fees required to send NFTs need to be paid through their In-App Purchase system, so that they can collect 30% of the gas fee.

Coinbase, further went on to point out that, the demand by Apple is completely unjustified as it’s clearly not doable in practical terms. Apple’s proprietary in-app purchase system does not support crypto so Coinbase, couldn’t comply even if they tried.

The “30 percent fees” has been a contentious point between the world’s most valuable company and other app developers like Spotify and “Fortnite” maker Epic Games, which have accused the company of misusing its “monopoly”.
