    Universal App Store clone versions and blatant rip offs

    What are developer's experiences with uploading their original apps to the App Store only to have clone versions be released or worse blatant rip offs be approved by Apple? To my knowledge, it is possible with certain software to extract some of the media resources (images etc) from an app...

    I noticed recently that the "Optimized for iPhone 5/6/6s" label in the App Store has been removed. It was very clear to users in the past whether the app was updated to support @3x, but now it has become a game of guess and tell for me. Am I the only one getting this problem, or is Apple decided...

    App Store weird behavior

    For about 2-3 weeks I have had a rather bizarre issue with the App Store, which seems to be working even more slowly than usual.
