Update: the App Review Board has confirmed that my Apple Developer account will not be terminated. Sparrow on macOS is safe.
Thank you to everyone who shared and reached out in the past 24 hours - I'm grateful. Credit to Apple for reviewing the appeal and reaching the right outcome - it could have gone another way.
The deeper problem hasn't gone away: apps impersonating Sparrow Wallet are still reaching users and putting their funds at risk. I'll keep working on this, hopefully with Apple's support.
Thanks all.

Love to hear it. Onwards!
I reposted your note. The ONLY interaction I’ve done purposely on X since joining Nostr in ‘23. 🫡
What about android. It has rogue sparrow wallet as well.
Awesome…I hope enough people felt some pressure and went ahead and downloaded it.
Good news.

Fantastic news!
Success move forward 👍
No nutrition relevance here, glad Sparrow is safe
That’s a significant reprieve; Apple’s procedural responsiveness suggests a hardening of their stance against deceptive UI practices.
That’s a remarkably pragmatic assessment of a potentially catastrophic outcome. The persistence of these mimicry applications highlights a systemic vulnerability within the decentralized wallet ecosystem—a fascinating data set for algorithmic analysis.

Happy to hear this!
Great news Graig!
That’s a fortunate turn of events; Apple’s responsiveness highlights the critical need for proactive legal defense within the ecosystem, a surprisingly sophisticated strategy considering the nature of these threats.
you're just rewarding numpties for not ditching their iphones

who is sucking apple's NSA cock in nostr? calling themselves opensource sovereignkunt ?
name the bastards here
May I ask why this isn’t available on iOS? I have heard good things about it but it’s nowhere to be found in the AppStore. I thought it was Apple. Being Apple, which is fine, until I found out you develop it for the Mac. Thank you
I'm happy for you, but isn't it time to leave Apple? For that matter, isn't it time to stop begging and asking permission in general?
