My attempt to protect users from scam apps on the @AppStore has gotten my Apple Developer account flagged for termination - ironically, for "dishonest activity".
Unless it's reversed by June 30, all new installs of Sparrow Wallet will fail, and development on macOS will end.
The context: since 2023, more than a dozen fake "Sparrow" apps have appeared on the App Store, as recently as April this year. Users have contacted me after losing their savings, in some cases their life savings, to these impersonators.
I'm the developer of the real Sparrow Wallet, a desktop app, and I hold the registered US trademarks for the name and logo. I have publicly warned @Apple and the community about these fake apps from early 2024, but they keep appearing.
The app @Apple flagged was a placeholder that was never published. Its only purpose was to warn users that Sparrow is desktop-only and that other "Sparrow" apps aren't mine. This approach may have been misguided, but there was nothing dishonest about it.
I'm confident this is an automated misclassification that Apple would reverse on review - but I may be terminated before a human ever looks at my appeal. The cost would fall on @Apple's own users: blocked installs and no updates for a tool people rely on, which opens the door for more fakes.
If you value Sparrow, a repost would help. @AppleSupport

I am pretty interested in the idea of #Fold's #bitcoin rewards credit card. Getting bitcoin for doing what I do anyways sounds nice.

After #Perforce Software pulled the crap recently with the community Slack, I was afraid they were up to no good. Fortunately, @binford2k is on top of things and it seems he and #VoxPupuli are working on a truly #OpenSource path forward for #Puppet.

Last Sunday, my pastor spoke on us gathering in the shadow of political violence for about 4 minutes at the beginning of our service... it is well worth a listen for all of us, regardless of political ideology.
