Google banned crypto currency on smartphones

Google has updated the rules for developers regarding the placement of applications on Google Play. As follows from the new edition of the document, the store "is forbidden to publish applications in which users may suffer from fraud with financial instruments," Vesti.ru reports .

In particular, "it is forbidden to publish applications intended for mining crypto currency on devices". At the same time, programs for Android, "regulating mining crypto currency remotely," are allowed.

Along with this, outlaws were applications, "with which you can buy explosives, firearms, cartridges, as well as some parts for firearms", "applications designed for children, but containing materials for adults", as well as programs created using automatic tools or by template.

More recently, Apple has taken similar measures with respect to iOS programs. According to the revised App Store rules in June, developers are prohibited from publishing in the catalog applications for the extraction of digital money.

The requirements also apply to programs for promoting ICO and token trading, hosted by organizations without the right to conduct such activities. Exception like Google: applications are allowed, when the run is not performed on the iPhone, but outside the device, for example, using cloud computing.
