Still, the forced transition is PITA for anyone who has had a successful app on the AppStore for several years. Essentially, you are being forced making a new app every other year, just to have an app, in spite of the fact that the old one(s) work perfectly well and everyone is happy with them. In my book, that is throwing money - it's cost us half the price to keep three other competing platforms afloat. And I find it disheartening that most developers seem so accepting of unnecessary costs to their time and health. Much like the worker class before the unions - any work conditions go. I for one am pretty tired of years of iOS-update introduced incidents and overtime work to manage new products, while juggling undue maintenance on old products. I also find it disheartening developer companies don't take a good look at costs and demand improvements, instead of accepting a steady trickle of punishment for success. If it is for the platform's good, I wish the platform ended so we can develop for platforms that deliver better working conditions and less motivated uncertainty, fear, and doubt.
