Can you everything apple gift card purchase in app purchases

I have a “For Everything Apple” gift card.

May I be able to use this for in-app purchases from the App Store such as digital in-game currency?

Do I apply the gift card as my Apple Account balance?

it mentions on the website that I can apply it to App Store apps but then it also states in the smaller text “solely from the purchase of good from… the App Store” so it seems that I can not use it for in app purchases.

thanks for any clarification !
