> I went with Paddle for Lunar Curious why he did not use Mac App Store to sell his app?

  He's using undocumented API's.

    Yes, exactly. I’ve been using IOKit since day one which is pretty much completely banned from App Store apps.

      But have you tried? I read first page I got, and it says "it depends" https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/51595 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/51595

        Since then, Lunar has acquired a lot more AppStore violations like linking to frameworks located in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks, not being sandboxed, and not caring about a lot of their design guidelines. So I didn’t really want to go through their process when the chances of getting an approval are close to zero.

        Why bother? They may change their mind later on and then what? Apple will come out with their own display that will just work out of the box with their own API.
