iOS developers are not successful in general. The top 1% of App Store developers make the vast majority of the App Store revenue. Apple doesn't seem to care, because they get their 30% regardless of how the other 70% of the revenue is

Apple said they review 100,000 apps per week. I don't think anyone can do that sanely at scale. Which is why nobody should try.

Brilliant idea to recentralize the decentralized internet. Edit: With more information coming in, I don't think the current issue is specific to Cloudflare. FWIW I'm having zero issues in mid-US.

It's crucial to recognize that for most of Apple's existence, they sold only their own products. Reselling third-party products was a nonexistent or minimal part of Apple's business. That changed with the iTunes Music Store,

Apple already tried to punish Epic. They removed all of Epic's apps from the App Store yesterday. And they tried to terminate all of Epic's developer accounts, including accounts for Unreal Engine, which was only stopped by a cour
