>That would be a very expensive thank you for a tiny business! I wonder why they don't just scale back the maintenance to bare bones and make it free. The past cost is already behind them... removing it from the store won't fix that. They even did the iPhone X compatibility updates already. For the new protocols and cloud services they'd like to add, I could see an intern tackling that, for a relatively lower cost (not free) compared to a developer. So I'm not so sure the numbers couldn't work out.
