I had a free password generator app on the Mac App Store. It wasn't super popular but had like 50-70 daily downloads. I didn't make any money from it. Just made the app because I needed it myself and wanted to learn a bit of macOS dev.
After a couple of years I decided to stop paying $99 a year for hosting a little 5MB app.
- scarface74 4y agoAnd that was your choice on the Mac. You could put the app on your own website and let users download it.
- pier25 4y agoIndeed. So? My point was not about distributing the app but about paying $99 every year to distribute a free app using the official app store.
- scarface74 4y agoIf you don’t want to spend $99 to use the “official Mac App Store”. You have other options on the Mac. What’s there to complain about?

- scarface74 4y agoIf my head hurts when I repeatedly hit myself over the head with a hammer, guess what I do?
- conradfr 4y agoDoes the app disappear from the store when you stop paying the yearly Apple tax or you just can't update it?
- pier25 4y agoIt's removed from the AppStore.
- explaininjs 4y agoGone. I used to make utilities on iOS but got sick of paying $99 a year for a platform where an update takes a week+ to go through and sometimes will get rejected for... basically no reason at all. All those utilities are gone now.
