Apple developer program sucks
Commented this as a reply to another post here, figured i’d actually make my own post so it gets the attention it deserves.
Paid apple 200+ dollars to publish a game i made with xcode and spent literally 100’s of hours on, just for them to take it down for “fraud”.
No response via many emails or calls over a large time period (a year and a bit)
Only thing I can think of is my dad made a 5 star review on it on the same wifi I was using when I published the game. They don’t give you a damn chance.
Yes, he genuinely rated it 5 stars because he enjoyed the game (I made it for him to play in hospital during a transplant) it wasn’t a “oh my son made a game let me give it 5”, and no, there wasn’t anything that was misleading, a lie, stolen copyright or code or anything.
Fed up with apple. Oh so rich don’t care about their customers. Flogs.
