@vincent I didn’t think they remove the app, I just thought you couldn’t post new versions.
@vincent @joecotellese Apple will remove the app if a developer account isn’t current. It’s really annoying for the longevity of old apps.
@vincent Do they not recognize how hostile this is? Not just to the developer, but to every customer of the app? Or maybe they don’t care.
Installed apps continue working, but I just lost several apps by buying a new phone. They don’t get backed up with my data. 😡
@vincent Modern Apple, yes. I have been around long enough to remember a kinder, gentler Apple. The company used to have a soul.
@sod Thanks for the answer. So Vincent has produced free software for people to create & post to their blog on microblog and then he also gets to pay $99 to Apple on top of that. It seems to me that Manton would pay that for Vincent, as Manton is the only person who will benefit financially from people having a Gluon blog.
I would happily send money to Vincent, but I’ve never been able to get Gluon to run on my Android phone. I guess I could try again. All I get is a blank screen.
@vincent Okay, as you wish.
But I have some good news. I’m writing this with Gluon!! I decided to try it again, so I did an update from the Google play store, or whatever they call it. When I was done with the update, I got the blank screen again. The sequence is a little vague in my memory, but somehow I closed the app and then clicked on the Gluon icon again and the microblog time line came up!!
I wrote you an earlier message but I did something wrong and my message in progress disappeared. I couldn’t get microblog back again. So I put it aside for some hours and closed the Gluon window on my phone.
Now I came back and clicked on the Gluon icon again. At first I got the blank screen again, but I fiddled around with it and got the time line and started this message. I’m gonna send it off to you now and not push my luck.
