#2Yikes, I hope there's more to the story here, but it doesn't sound like there is.
I use dash if I had done the wipe & reinstall I was planning to this coming weekend I would have to repurchase it.

#3It sounds like just simple human error on Apples part.

#4FYI - I went through the process described to migrate my license and it worked fine.

#5Having seen the internals of many an application that deals with both "human" and "group" accounts, I'm not surprised that something like this would cause an issue. Unless things are designed from the ground up to support it (which they never are), those types of migrations always have a bunch of edge cases that aren't properly handled.
Sure it sucks but the real test of whether Apple gives a rats behind is if they fix it a reasonable amount of time. If this drags on for more than a day without a human response from their support line I'd say, no they don't care. I bet that happens.

#6Kinda puts it in perspective how weird it is that companies have so much control over how software is distributed and sold these days. This would never have happened a decade ago.

We also weren't using as many walled-garden devices and ecosystems a decade ago.
There are certainly a lot of issues with the app store model. But using a service like download.com was also rife with issues.

#8I find it ironic that the EU goes after Google for allowing third party stores (Samsung, Amazon, Nvidia, etc) and sideloaded APKs and allows you to build your own APKs for free...
... but Apple just randomly removes apps that people have purchased from the Apple Store (thus stealing their money and their product, doing everything short of uninstalling it, but preventing reinstallation), and the EU stays silent?
This is some bullshit.

#9> "I can’t update Dash for iOS anymore and I can’t distribute it outside of the App Store."
Well, that's the problem with a walled garden in a nutshell, isn't it?

And having lived through that, and now lived through the walled garden/App Store experience, I'll say with confidence the old way was better.
