Even though It might be a simple error on Apple's end, this is both morally and economically unacceptable. As long as it is not a top-high critical issue with the account or the application, a considerable time should be given to developer to solve the issue. They can even freeze the money that goes to developer until the issue resolved, but cutting the app from the market and failing on both app users and the develo…

They can't give you advanced notice for "fraud" though. If your app actually commits fraud it's got to go right away to limit the amount of fraud you commit. They at least think some kind of fraud was happening, correctly or not.
No, they still could. The message could say: “We have received X complaints of fraud for your app, "Totally Not a Scam Lite", and it will be removed in 2 days unless you contact us immediately at number >. In addition, if this is found to be true, any sales of your app will be refunded and not credited to your developer account.”.

Not allowing third party stores in the Store is a security feature because they can install APKs that have not passed through Google's security scanner. Google does not prohibit you from installing third party stores. Also, how are they using their dominance for search and browsers to do something? I can install Firefox on Android, I cannot install Firefox on iOS. I can do "Hey, Cortana" if I install Cortana on my An…
>> The EU thinks that they can post-facto change the law to effect Irish companies. This is illegal and immoral. You are severely misinformed. Ireland broke rules it agreed to under treaty in order to join the single market that have been enforced for decades, often regarding EU based companies. State aid is defined as giving advantages to one company but not others, thereby distorting competitive markets. Ireland is…

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.
Better for you maybe, but not better for the average user who ended up with malware infecting their systems left and right because they weren't technical enough to avoid it.
I wonder if Apple knows how many developers use Dash. They probably don't realize what a high-profile faux pas they're making.
This is the first time I've heard of this (not a mac user but am a developer). At least as this is software for developers, I reckon most won't mind buying it outside the appstore, it sounds really useful.
Having 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 f…
I'm going to hypothesize that this isn't a technology glitch. It seems more likely that the move triggered a look at his account by some human who for reasons that are unknown to us decided his account looked fishy.
The thing the pisses me of about these cases is this: "I called them again and they said they can’t provide more information." They terminate your account and then they even refuse to tell you why. A basic human thing, a chance to fix the issue, but no. Go f* yourself from Apple and that's it.
Or it could just mean that the person they talked to couldn't see any other information beyond what had already been communicated to the developer (terminated for fraudulent activity). Assuming this was human error on the part of Apple this would make sense, because there was no actual fraudulent activity and so no info would be available beyond the fact that someone flagged the account as such.
Unfortunately, it seems, the writing truly was on the wall once Dash had to be removed from Jaxx Wallet.
I'm not even a Dash user, but choice in such a new space is important.
