Wow it must be an extremely novel experience for an iOS programmer to have a company arbitrarily make decisions about what you can and cannot do on their platform

Why kick 'em when they're down already?
[Edit: upon reflection, this post went too far. To any who saw it, I apologize.]
Apple bad
Wait hold on
People wanting to make software for widely used devices bad?

I wish I could say that Google is better at that. Itβs basically the same story but with even less humans to talk to when youβre flagged for doing something wrong or in the case of Google your former college roommate whom you havenβt seen in 10 years did something wrong. Itβs the price all mobile devs pay unless they only want to distribute to a small subset of users who have liberated their phones.
when I started with mobile apps google was easy and apple was a problem.
nowadays apple is very clear on what they allow and what they don't and it's possible to go back and forth with them to get something approved.
google is trying their hard to be as strict as apple while putting 0 of the effort in to correct problems. not to mention that android is a fucking piece of garbage to maintain. you have like 4 deadlines per year, you need to update this or that thing or your app won't work on this or that device, or the deprecation deadline for fucking safetynet arrives and they take two weeks to repair the google play integrity service.

Tbf I've found google and apple fairly good to develop for(they handle app signing, deployment and more)

What's reddit
Lemmy-like platform. But looks like they haven't implemented ActivityPub yet.
They sound pretty shady. Think we should defederate?
Dam lemmy.world at it again
I heard they have some piracy communities, so thatβs reason enough for most admin

Remember Digg? It's like that except it's mostly bots.
It's a website where bots talk to each other and posts links from all over the internet in order to scam corporations out of ad revenue.
Dead Internet theory personified.
A centralized, proprietary alternative to Lemmy.
I think its like Chlamydia but you catch it from sticking your head too far up your ass (hence spez has it the worst)

Sorry you lost your community. That really sucks.
On the other hand, welcome to a new community!

Thank you for fighting a good fight. You're far better than 98% of the boot-consuming power trippers that folded the moment it looked like they might lose their paper throne. Welcome home.

Eventually it was bound to happen. Still sad to see mods getting removed to make way for more Spez friendly replacements
Coming from r/DnDMemes I feel you dude. Thank you for putting it all on the line and sticking to what you felt was right.

Not sure what he expected. I commend all the protesting, but we all saw how reddit responded. They didn't give two shits. Yet people stick around in a toxic relationship with the site until they get removed. It's weird. Why not just make the move to Lemmy before they take everything from you?

Is there a community here for it yet?
Closest thing is !mobiledev@programming.dev currently, I've just reached out to one of the iOSProgramming mods about if they want to set up here
Update: we now have !ios_dev@programming.dev, temporarily managed by me until we get some mods for it

I'm surprised they gave a shit for /r/iOSProgramming since it's not as popular. It's more niche but yeah sad to hear. Glad I got rid of reddit after the API shutdown.

Who are the mods now?
Some attention hungry incompetent wannabes?
