Popular Ethereum wallet MetaMask was briefly removed from Apple's App Store on Saturday before being restored.
"FYI: We're aware that MetaMask isn't currently available for download on the App Store," the team said in a post on X (formerly Twitter). "This is and not related to anything malicious and our team is working hard to resolve it ASAP."
The MetaMask wallet is an essential tool for accessing various decentralized applications (DApps) on the Web3 ecosystem, boasting a user base of over 30 million worldwide.
The wallet provider also assured users that there is not security concern and no "action required on users' part," adding that it is also not related to the app's functionality.
"We anticipate that MetaMask will be back on the App Store shortly," it said.
This is not the first time MetaMask has faced challenges with app marketplaces controlled by tech giants. In December 2019, Google suspended MetaMask from its Play Store, citing a violation of financial services guidelines due to its policy against cryptocurrency mining on mobile devices.
Despite MetaMask's appeal, Google upheld the ban.
