Apple пачынае блакаваць беларускіх iOS-распрацоўшчыкаў праз санкцыі?
Apple users who have a developer account with a Belarusian registration address began to receive a letter from the corporation, which refers to the imposition of sanctions. According to readers, apparently we are talking about blocking payments for iOS developers with Belarusian registration. However, the headline of the letter says: «Your account has been deactivated.»
In addition, it is reported that Apple conducts payments through the German Deutsche Bank, and a number of Belarusian banks, for example, Belinvestbank do not accept payments from it due to sanctions.

«We noticed an issue when verifying your account. The legal entity information associated with your account fully matches a restricted party or one or more parties from the United States government’s consolidated screening list, another government’s sanctions list, or a restricted regions list,» Apple said in a notice.
It is noteworthy that the notification of sanctions comes even to those iOS developers whose accounts have already been re-registered to legal addresses in other countries (originally registered in Belarus).
Users also note that in the developer account of the App Store Connect, the inscription «Falls under sanctions» appeared in the block «Legal entities», and also in the block «Agreement» there was a status – limited.
