Is buying bitcoin with Apple Pay legal in Arkansas?

Bitcoin is legal in Arkansas. The Arkansas Securities Department administers the Uniform Money Services Act, which requires companies conducting money transmission for Arkansans to hold a state license, and the department applies that regime to custodial virtual currency businesses.
