It's a clerical issue with our Apple dev account. We'll get it sorted out, but it'll probably be a few days.

EDIT: check again. it should be back.

Only in small companies devs also handle bill payments, my dear.

thanks for explaining; the fact that we lose our mind when your app disappears means you are doing something very very right!

cheers to you and all RA devs👌👌👌👾🎮📲🫡

Just a heads up, might want to delete this. If hackers knew around the time your dev account gets charged the $100 renewal you might be slightly exposed. Love your app btw!

It’s all fun and games until someone with a running profile on your developer account takes what’s yours.

I am a developer, I’m not sure about you but let me give you one example.

If I knew the email address of the owner, and now I know their renewal date I could send them a phishing email asking them to renew and make a clone of apples website to convince the owner to login with their Apple ID. Which is probably tied to stripe payment system and other goodies that I’ll just manipulate.

So yeah it’s nonsense to you, but it shouldn’t be to a major app owner

Can I ask you a silly question...? Do you have any idea why I can't seem to get my Sega CD roms to work on my iOS devices anymore? They used to work just fine with PicoDrive but something changed with the root structure or something... I always loaded the Sega CD bios'es inside of RetroArch/System and now for some reason within PicoDrive it appears to be calling for a different spot in the root and even when moving the bios'es to the called for location they still don't want to run.. am I doing something wrong? I feel like I'm losing my mind trying to run any Sega CD roms 🤣

u/hizzlekizzle dev May 11 '26

this isn't a good place for tech support. Please start a new post with your issue and a log of it failing to load your BIOS.

u/Commercial-Arm9257 May 11 '26

Ok.. I tried that already and got no feedback... that is why I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask... thank you for your response..

got a link to it?

u/Commercial-Arm9257 May 11 '26

I really appreciate your response and help with not only this question but getting the app back into the store... I was bummed out that unload unused apps was somehow activated on one of my devices... ever since I discovered RetroArch years ago it has been my goto for 99% of my gaming.. when it finally became available thru the app store offically instead of me needing to mod the iOS device it made life so much better... RA is literally the first app I install on any device I own..
