To ensure that Telegram bots/mini apps such as yours continue operating without interruption on all platforms, we have developed a way for third-party developers on Telegram to accept payments from their customers that is compliant with the App Store and Play Store policies.

Developers will be able to review their Telegram Stars balance and withdraw them at any time using the TON blockchain.
Starting on June 12, all payments for digital goods and services in bots and mini apps will have to be carried out exclusively in Telegram Stars. Since Telegram has to follow the Guidelines imposed on us by the app stores, failure to comply with these changes will result in the suspension of @fStikBot for most of your customers.

Dear Bot Developer,
As previously announced, Apple has informed Telegram that @fStikBot is in violation of App Review Guidelines 4.7 and 3.1.1, because it accepts payments for digital goods and services without relying on Apple's in-app purchase mechanism – this has never been allowed on Telegram.
To allow all affected bots to continue operating without interruption, we are rolling out Telegram Stars, an in-app currency users will be able to acquire from Telegram using standard Apple and Google in-app purchases and then use to buy digital goods and services from you.
Starting on June 12, all payments for digital goods and services in bots and mini apps will have to be carried out exclusively in Telegram Stars. If digital goods and services can be purchased for your bot or mini app on other platforms (including from your external website), the same goods and services must also be available for purchase with Telegram Stars, in compliance with Apple Review Guideline 3.1.3(b).
⚠️ Note that payments for physical goods and services are unaffected by this change and can continue operating as usual.

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.

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.
