\n\u2018NFT\u2019 app Sticky kicked out of Apple\u2019s App Store after operating for months<\/br>

Apple\u2019s approach to NFT apps is still something of a gray area. The company permitted NFT marketplace OpenSea to launch an app<\/a>, but only for browsing NFTs \u2014 not for buying and selling them. The same goes for Rarible\u2019s iOS app<\/a>, which is described as an NFT browser for \u201cviewing\u201d blockchain collectibles. Other NFT apps offer similar discovery features. But the lack of official guidelines around NFTs on iOS has made it hard for app developers to know where the line is in terms of what\u2019s permitted and what\u2019s not.<\/p>\n

One developer who experienced bumping up against the line first-hand is Alan Lammiman, founder of Daily Apps.<\/p>\n

Lammiman created the mobile-native \u201cNFT\u201d marketplace app Sticky<\/a>, which had been live on the App Store for several months before Apple removed it. During this time, Apple approved over half a dozen updates to the app that used the term \u201cNFT\u201d in the same manner that ultimately led to the app\u2019s removal. But Apple eventually told Sticky that it was misleading to use the term \u201cNFT\u201d for digital collectibles than weren\u2019t minted to a public blockchain. It did not give Sticky time to make changes to the app before pulling it down, Lammiman said.<\/p>\n

Sticky\u2019s app had been operating in a hazy area, to be fair. It was using a proprietary, private ledger, which it disclosed in the app\u2019s App Store description. The company also explained to users that its NFTs were \u201ccollectibles,\u201d but not \u201csecurities, convertible currencies, or investments.\u201d<\/p>\n

The removal serves as an interesting example of how Apple is deciding what\u2019s permitted on the App Store and what\u2019s not. It\u2019s also another indication of how Apple seems<\/a> to be making<\/a> decisions on the fly as it tries to address developers\u2019 use of new technologies and terminologies.<\/p>\n

For a while, at least, it seemed Sticky had found a loophole in Apple\u2019s unspoken rules for NFT apps.<\/p>\n

As its name implies, Sticky began as a tool for creating stickers back in 2020. But it later redesigned to focus on NFTs when it couldn\u2019t make the earlier model work financially. The revamped app began to gain traction around December 2021 and received positive feedback. Sticky began to fundraise, Lammiman said.<\/p>\n

The most recent version of the app allowed creators to mint \u201cNFTs\u201d on Sticky\u2019s ledger. Users could also only sell items made in Sticky within Sticky, where the NFT images appear watermarked unless you own them. This prevented them from being copied and resold on other marketplaces like OpenSea, the company said. Sticky\u2019s transactions were made using \u201cStickyCoin,\u201d which is not a cryptocurrency. The StickyCoins themselves were bought in packs using standard in-app purchases.<\/p>\n

Lammiman explained this decision was an attempt to play by Apple\u2019s rules.<\/p>\n

\u201cApple has several restrictions on cryptocurrency apps,\u201d he said. \u201cAlthough none of the rules appear to explicitly forbid offering an in-app currency that is also a cryptocurrency, we thought it would be best to avoid that issue, so StickyCoins are just a regular in-app currency.\u201d<\/p>\n

Creators could only \u201ccash out\u201d on their \u201cNFT\u201d sales after meeting anti-fraud requirements, including providing their real name, photo and address. Sticky claimed it checked artwork for plagiarism prior to payment and would request additional evidence of authenticity for any art in question. (We cannot verify this as the app is now gone.) Payments were supposed to be sent to creators through PayPal at the end of the month \u2014 the StickyCoins themselves weren\u2019t convertible to cash.<\/p>\n

At the time of removal, Sticky only allowed primary trading; it said secondary trading features were under development. This had disappointed users who felt secondary sales should be a part of any NFT marketplace.<\/p>\n

Not an \u201cNFT\u201d app<\/h3>\n

But \u2014 and this is a big but<\/em> \u2014 Sticky\u2019s ledger was not<\/em> a decentralized or open source blockchain, like the networks that support Bitcoin and Ether. It\u2019s a proprietary centralized ledger system operated by Sticky with zero transparency.<\/p>\n

This wades into a tricky area. Apple suggested that Sticky\u2019s use of the word \u201cNFT\u201d to describe its digital collectibles was misleading because they weren\u2019t minted on a decentralized, public blockchain. The NFTs didn\u2019t have typical blockchain addresses and weren\u2019t bought and sold using cryptocurrencies. In fact, it\u2019s hard to prove a ledger even existed here.<\/p>\n

Many users also agreed these were not what they considered to be NFT transactions.<\/p>\n

A number of user reviews (cached by Sensor Tower<\/a> before the app\u2019s removal) were from people who called Sticky a scam or misleading because the collectibles were bought using in-app coins, not cryptocurrencies as usual \u2014 complaints Apple\u2019s feedback also mirrored. The lack of secondary trading was often mentioned, too.<\/p>\n

Sticky tried to appeal its App Store removal. It submitted an update that would allow users to export their NFTs collected in Sticky to a public blockchain.<\/p>\n

This was intended to assuage fears over Sticky\u2019s control of its ledger and complaints that its use of the word \u201cNFT\u201d was misleading to users. The updates were submitted on March 12, 2022 \u2014 two days after Apple told Sticky for the first time it could not use the word \u201cNFT\u201d in the manner it had been. The app has been under review ever since and the updates have not been approved.<\/p>\n

The company notes it has not been able to submit updates or bug fixes to existing users. Sticky has tried to follow up with Apple several times via email and phone, but only got voicemail. Apple\u2019s email response advised the company to wait for a decision:<\/p>\n

\n

I understand that you are concerned with waiting longer than you have anticipated for your app to be reviewed. The review for your app is still in progress and requires additional time. We will provide further status updates as soon as we are able, or we will contact you if we require additional information.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And while what Sticky was doing wasn\u2019t necessarily wrong<\/em> or explicitly banned by the App Store Review Guidelines<\/a>, it was operating in a questionable space by offering a proprietary ledger that didn\u2019t have a developer platform, white paper or any way for the public to contribute. Its website only said it \u201cwas looking into\u201d making the ledger open source and to \u201cstay tuned.\u201d This made it different from other entities that were using proprietary ledger systems. For example, NBA Top Shot was built on its own blockchain<\/a>, but it was also more transparent about how it worked and allowed the public to contribute.<\/p>\n

For consumers, that meant there was a risk to using Sticky\u2019s service. Sticky controlled the entire system, so it could have shut down or rewritten its network at any time, and users could have lost their work and collections. It appears Apple made a gut call here in favor of consumer protection. Arguably, it may have been the right one. (Apple didn\u2019t provide an official comment, but the company acknowledged Sticky was removed for misleading users by its use of \u201cNFT\u201d per rule 1.1.6).<\/p>\n

While the risks to consumers are apparent and Apple\u2019s decision certainly makes sense, what\u2019s concerning is that this app was approved to operate in the first place. Sticky also wasn\u2019t given a chance to correct its problems before removal, which seems unfair; in the worst-case scenario, Sticky could have returned to being a sticker app while it sorted things out.<\/p>\n

But the larger issue is that developers like Sticky don\u2019t have access to clear and documented rules that explain how NFT apps should or should not operate on the App Store. They\u2019re left to feel things out by submitting ideas, seeing if they get in, then waiting to see how long the ride lasts.<\/p>\n

Sticky had 484,000 lifetime installs before its removal from the App Store, Sensor Tower<\/a> data indicates. The app had accrued 1,125 reviews and 26,273 ratings and had an approximately 4.6-star rating.<\/p>\n

Lammiman said the business would not survive this ban, which is why the company chose to make its issues public.<\/p>\n

Update, 4\/7\/22, 4:13 p.m.<\/strong>: 45 minutes after publication of this article, Sticky was allowed to return to the App Store.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
