According to Lukas Schor, product development head, Apple is preventing the release of Gnosis Safe’s ETH wallet. Users may also see other digital assets like NFT to assist manage their funds.
NFTs are mainly Ethereum-based tokens that represent a certificate for a particular virtual or real item. Because NFTs are tokens, they are progressively being added to wallets so users can view the collections and art.

Apple is having issues with Gnosis’ use of NFTs. Therefore it has removed the Gnosis ETH Wallet from its app store. Schor even asked whether the new software could store NFTs when he said that the old app could already use the newest update, connecting Gnosis’ hardware wallets.
