First of all, Apple charges developers a yearly subscription for the privilege of publishing apps on the App Store. Secondly, with every year comes new APIs and deprecations. So developers need to constantly put in work so the app works when you upgrade your OS. People complain about subscriptions forgetting that 20 years ago you didn’t update your OS yearly. It’s time for people to realise the landscape has changed. If you want someone to blame, blame Apple / Google for deprecating APIs and forcing developers to adjust their targets yearly to avoid reduced distribution.
