TikTok Circumvents Apple App Store Commissions with Alternative Payment Links

TikTok is directing select users to an external website for coin purchases, potentially breaching Apple's in-app purchase rules.

TikTok has implemented a feature that prompts select iOS users to purchase digital coins via its website, avoiding the standard 30% Apple commission.
The strategy mirrors tactics previously used by Epic Games with Fortnite, which led to its removal from the App Store.
Apple has adjusted its policies to allow some apps to link to external payment systems, but TikTok's approach may still violate current guidelines.
The feature appears to be a test targeting users who frequently buy large quantities of TikTok coins.
Neither TikTok nor Apple have officially commented on the potential breach of App Store policies.
