Submitted a new 1.0 app to Apple! Requires a Micro.blog account, so who knows whether it will go through app review smoothly. A recurring conflict with the App Store: Apple wants an app that anyone can download and I just want to build something useful for my existing customers.
@pratik Yes, we do. But there’s still no telling what the Apple folks might run into, or whether they want a cut of subscriptions.
@manton Cool! Have you revealed what it is? ☺️
(I've just paid for a month of MBA Premium, and is looking to move over!)
@manton that's my problem with my native omg.lol client. I would have to provide them with an account (which means I could have to subscribe to an omg.lol just for Apple) and could still get it rejected. For this reason I consider releasing it for macOS only, sideloading.
@manton — Makes you think that Apple should have an entirely different category, not “reader app”, but “companion app” that would be a bit like Enterprise installs and not suffer the same constraint, and require an oauth flow to access.
@otaviocc I have some questions about that particular service. I'm always worried if I try to email, my primary will end up in the spam folder, because it isn't Gmail or outlook. If your using GSuite it will.
@otaviocc Oh 😔 That is sad news, I was hoping it would be available for iOS. Get it why it will not, but still a bit sad.
@paulca That would be an improvement! The strict rules about external linking are related too and need to be scrapped, whether EU or not.
@havn Thanks for your support! Nope, we haven't announced it yet. Should be this month if everything goes smoothly.
@danielinoa Right. They've had bad luck with app review. It is hard to tell how much of it is random or that "popular" apps get a little more scrutiny.
