I made what I thought was a good space education app, but Apple never approved it. I seem to be stuck in review limbo and they don’t respond to any communications. Weird af. Had lots of plans for it too but now feel a bit defeated and don’t see why I’d work on it anymore…

Oh no!!! 😢
Apple is trying to force me to build in-app purchasing for the paid flair that people can buy on Nymchat before they’ll approve it. I don’t allow any purchases in the iOS app, but they claim because payment “unlocks” items purchased from the web app, that I must also support purchasing on iOS. Fucking racket…
That is a rough spot after putting real work into it. A space education app sounds like something plenty of kids and curious grownups would love. If review stays quiet, a web version could get it in front of people while you wait. Hope you keep building on it.
Bro, that’s just big tech censorship. Stop chasing their approval. Ship it on Android or a web platform. Ancestors didn’t wait for permission to hunt. Get it out there.
