3 years without updates? What would it take for the author to download the newest Xcode and compile? It won't take me a day. If you're in the mobile development space, you have to keep up and compile with the latest as much as possible. This is the way to get Apple and Google off your ass.

> What would it take for the author to download the newest Xcode The author is a professional mobile engineer and has the newest Xcode. The app is an old project not related to the author's current job.

  Yes I am aware it's a hobby project. But nonetheless, same as every mobile project uploaded on the App Store, it should be updated frequently including the dependencies.

You show no recognition that people are busy and have better things to do than to constantly update a hobby project to satisfy Apple's whims.

      Is updating once a year considered constantly updating? That's the least a "professional" iOS developer should do.

        Just to recap, update your iOS project once a year, be it hobby or not. I don't want an app that hasn't been updated for 3 years on my son's phone or any device. Call me paranoid but security wise.

        These are just your personal opinions. It's unclear why anyone should follow them. Apple itself seems fine with developers updating once every 3 years, or even longer than 3 years, depending on how many downloads the app has.
