Decentralized exchange Uniswap launched the mobile self-hosted open source wallet "Uniswap Wallet" in early March, but Apple's App Store refused to list it without reason. Fortunately, after another month of review, Apple finally agreed to release it.

Uniswap Labs issued a Twitter post on Thursday stating that "Uniswap Wallet" has finally successfully escaped from the "Apple prison" and is currently available on the App Store in the United States, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Indonesia and other countries and regions, but has not yet been launched in Taiwan. Uniswap promises that once it is approved by Apple, it will push this App to more countries and regions around the world.

According to the introductory article published by Uniswap, the functions of "Uniswap Wallet" include digital asset transactions, wallet activity tracking and querying NFT data (cannot be traded). It allows users to purchase cryptocurrency at a fee of 2.55%. It can also be used on the Ethereum main network, Polygon, Transactions are conducted on the DeFi platforms of Arbitrum and Optimism, and tokens and wallet addresses can be collected to facilitate users to track transaction activities.

Before being officially launched on the App Store, Uniswap has released an early access version of "Uniswap Wallet" to 10,000 users through the testing program provided by Apple Testflight.

It’s perhaps unsurprising that Apple has been slow to review Uniswap Wallet, given the tech giant’s strict policies on cryptocurrencies.

Last October, Apple updated its App Store guidelines to explain Apple’s policies on cryptocurrency and non-fungible token (NFT) transactions in new and clearer terms.

Apple said it has no objection to cryptocurrency exchanges or other apps that open cryptocurrency trading, provided that these exchanges must obtain operating licenses in the regions where the apps are located.
