  1. Skype is still sitting on my phone. It stopped working when Microsoft shut it down last May (2025 btw), and I am still not deleting it.

    ICQ did not survive the last phone. Moving to a new iPhone pulls everything back down from the App Store, and ICQ has not been in the store since 2024, so it just quietly never came back. No warning and nothing to confirm. On the old phone it was there, on the new one it was gone.

    So a dead app lives exactly as long as the phone it sits on.

    Who else is keeping one of these around?

  3. FYI: Google's third spam update of 2026 rolls out to every language: Google's August 2026 spam update reached every language on August 18, as Apple rewrote its EU App Store fee terms and ChatGPT ad units swapped advertisers. ppc.land/googles-third-spam-up #GoogleUpdate #SEO #DigitalMarketing #AppStore #ChatGPT

    ...that isn't either dead or filled with noob spam of "why app won't work?"

    But for sure I'm not the only one submitting at least a couple of #mobile apps every month. Would love to #pwa instead, but here we are. Thanks #apple

  10. "Just let alt app stores exist" sounds like the easy fix. Setapp Mobile already tried it and folded. The real question isn't whether Apple loses the App Store fight, it's which bill you pay instead.

  11. #Apple announced changes to its #businessterms for apps in the #EuropeanUnion, following collaboration with the European Commission. These changes include a unified set of business terms for all developers, a 5% Core Technology Commission for apps distributed outside the App Store, and adjustments to commission rates across the #AppStore and alternative payment options. apple.com/newsroom/2026/08/app #tech #news #ainews

  12. ICYMI: Apple kills EU per-install fee for 5% commission on non-App Store sales: Developers face a 26% App Store commission and 20% with alternative payments. Every EU developer moves to one set of terms on October 1, locked for 12 months. ppc.land/apple-kills-eu-per-in #Apple #EU #AppStore #Developers #Commission

  13. And no shade thrown to devs - I do open source work myself, and it's really hard, time consuming, often unrewarding. Maintenance is a burden, having to keep up with platform updates, adding new features, fixing bugs.

    I ended up having to split my build between F-Droid and /Apple .

    Which sucks for my users. They're going to be stuck with a slightly inferior experience.
