Wow. A innocent Apple developer's life is effectively destroyed by Apple's inability to get their gift-card numbers straight. A technical glitch and EVERYTHING is gone. The victim: > I have literally written the book on Apple development (taking over the Learning Cocoa with Objective-C series, which Apple themselves used to write, for O’Reilly Media, and then 20+ books following that). I help run the longest-running Apple developer event not run by Apple themselves, /dev/world. I have effectively been an evangelist for this company’s technology for my entire professional life. We had an app on the App Store on Day 1 in every sense of the world. The response: > Support staff refused to tell me why the account was banned or provide specific details on the decision > reps I’ve spoken to have suggested strange things, one of the strangest was telling me that I could physically go to Apple’s Australian HQ at Level 3, 20 Martin Place, Sydney, and plead my case. Apple leaned on lobste.rs and > "Story was removed" because we don't want to give trolls a convenient public monument to content that was so bad or bizarre we removed it. > [Oh well] "time to self host i suppose" Twenty years of a faithful Apple Devloper's life casually destroyed by Apple, and "time to self host I suppose". Trust neither Apple (ever, of course) nor the public.
