How do you know they shipped your code?
- x1024 13y agoBecause it was shipped about 48 hours after I wrote it, and I see details in it that are specific to my implementation. In fact, if you use their iOS app(especially on the more memory-consuming devices like an iPad Retina)you'll notice that the app reproducibly crashes on all screens. Except one.
- sdesol 13y ago"reproducibly crashes on all screens. Except one" This reminds me of the story about a large telecom company in North America and one in China. They were able to show that their code was stolen because they had the same bug.
- raarts 13y agoExactly. My product was stolen by a competitor. In court I could show their product had the same bug as mine. That was the start of their downfall. They bankrupted.
- acoomans 13y agoYou could reverse engineer their app and see if it matches your implementation. Super easy if it's html app. Not too hard if objective-c since it is very verbose, even with symbols stripped.
