Apple has appealed, but for the moment out-of-app purchases seem to be allowed in the US.  From the updated App Store terms:

Fantastic news, at least on the surface.  I’m holding off until we see how using external payments affect search placement.  My app is new and I need user numbers more than $$, so I’m going to stick with App Store payments for the moment.

WDYT?  Are you considering switching your iOS app over to web payments?  Let us know how it goes!

And if the RevCat team has any guidance here, I’d love to see another blog post like this one about the earlier ruling.  (Thanks!)
