Don't feel too down. The first time I wrote a major software business project for myself I saved up $50k (To cover rent, living and utilities), resigned from work and spent a year developing it. I ran out of money and it never sold very well and I definitely am yet to recoup anywhere near the costs of development but eventually I realised while I'd not gained any financial benefits I had picked up some very good skills as a web developer which were in great demand on the local jobs market. I started that year knowing no javascript and very little html, css or other web technologies.
With the new skills I was able to land a great job as a web developer and am always working on side projects. Even if Apple have screwed you over, don't get disheartened ... they can't screw you out of the skills you've learnt; they're invaluable. Keep that in mind when you're feeling down.
