I never said anything bad about Apple. I just shared what happened to me. maybe my apps are slop, maybe they're not, that's your opinion. but it's honestly surprising how many people seem to enjoy seeing someone else go through a bad situation
@TimSweeneyEpic and his “Apol is bat” ballade. This guy just started “coding” last year. So “years of work” just is two years. Vibe coded what it looks a ChatGPT language learning app and Signal app messaging clone. Am I surprised of the banhammer from review team? Not at all.
submitted my app for review. waited a week.
then woke up to apple removing every single app I've built from the app store.
entire dev account flagged under 3.2(f). payouts frozen.
years of work, just like that.
anyone managed to get their account back? #terminator#apple
@MaxHirsch13 the app has been on the app store for over 1.5 years. It was literally just under review for an update, but sure, call it a 1:1 clone lol 🤡
@jovainc I didn't change anything remotely after submitting the app, and I have logs to back that up. honestly have no idea why this happened
and even if there was an issue with one app, shutting down the entire developer account over it feels so extreme :(
@fortibun I only got one rejection for that app, and it was about the yearly vs weekly pricing on the paywall. honestly, claude had copied a paywall template 😭
I fixed it directly in the code, submitted a new build for review shortly after, and then all this happened
@djraz369 Going through the exact same nightmare right now. Apple just flagged my entire account over remote config I wasn’t even using. Apps gone overnight. This stuff is brutal.
slowly figuring out us tiktok.
once read that you can't create without consuming. turns out it's true. the more i watch, the more i understand what works and how to make better content.
got my first mini hit today. small win, but we're getting somewhere
