FINAL NOTICE: YOUR BOT CAN BE BLOCKED SOON
Dear Bot Developer,
Apple has informed us that your bot @uno9bot is in violation of App Review Guidelines 4.7 and 3.1.1, because it accepts payments for digital goods and services directly from customers without relying on Apple's in-app purchase mechanism.
To address this report, our moderators have examined your bot and confirmed Apple's findings as of June 12. As previously announced, we have rolled out Telegram Stars, an in-app currency users can acquire from Telegram using standard Apple and Google in-app purchases and then use to buy digital goods and services from you.
In order to comply with store guidelines, your bot must either immediately switch to only accepting Telegram Stars as payment for digital products, or remove any paid digital products from your bot. This includes instances where your bot itself or its integration with Telegram are being sold as a paid tool or service.
This is the final warning to update your app. Should you fail to do so within the next 48 hours, your bot or mini app will become inaccessible to the majority of its users.
These changes are needed for your bot to continue operating on the Telegram platform because Telegram must comply with Apple’s and Google’s guidelines. More information about payments for digital products can be found in Telegram’s Terms of Service for Bot Developers and our Bot API Reference Documents for digital payments.
Should you encounter a technical issue while implementing Stars as your payment method, please contact @BotSupport and include the hashtag #stars in your message.
