After a month of evaluation by Apple, the Uniswap mobile app is now available in the iOS app store.
According to a tweet from Uniswap Labs on Thursday, it is now available for consumers in “most countries,” including the United States. “We will continue to launch in other countries as soon as Apple allows us to,” Uniswap assured.
In addition to permitting exchanges between the Ethereum mainnet, Polygon, Arbitum, and Optimism, users will be able to monitor their NFT collections and purchase cryptocurrencies with their debit cards via MoonPay, a feature that was added to the exchange in December.
After tweeting on March 3 that Apple wouldn’t “green light” the utility, Uniswap Labs encountered a number of obstacles when launching on the iOS app store. To circumvent this, 10,000 users were granted access to the TestFlight version of the program.
The company claimed at the time that it was “100% compliant” with Apple’s specifications, despite being “stuck in limbo.”
The iPhone manufacturer updated its review guidelines in October to rein in the NFT ecosystem, which had been expanding since it permitted the trading of tokens in September.
Apple may have also considered the legal implications of allowing the app to be distributed. Senator Sherrod Brown urged Apple and Google to evaluate their protections against crypto-related schemes in July 2022. Brown had advised tech companies to be vigilant against “fraudulent activity” and cautioned that it is “crucial to have the appropriate safeguards in place” to protect investors.
To utilize the application, users will be required to establish a non-custodial wallet — a wallet whose private keys are managed by the individual user, as opposed to a third-party exchange or custodian.
