I wonder if Apple knows how many developers use Dash. They probably don't realize what a high-profile faux pas they're making.

iOS devs have stolkholm syndrome. We deal with all sorts of crap from apple.

Like code signing. Or the encrypt-then-compress DRM adding many MB to binary sizes. Or code signing causing pre-main startup times to bloat. Etc, etc.

I conversed with the developer of Dash a while back and found him to be a rather cordial and frankly honest person. He's from Romania, and had you done a single Google search for "Popescu" you might have seen this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popescu

"Popescu (Francisized as Popesco) is a family name very common in Romania"

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.

What's enraging is that you pay $100/year for that abusive treatment.

What's enraging is you pay 30% of your sales for that abusive treatment.

Try contacting Google about anything.

I think he has a good point. A lot of our business and life are under the rule of big private companies. We are merciless to question their behavior even when their acts have great impact upon us.

Sure, we should add add a lot of names to this list: "Try contacting [Apple|Google|EBay|PayPal|AmazonAws|.*] about anything."

It's a lifesaver on planes where you won't have internet. If only I could download an archive of stackoverflow too, then I'd be set.

I use `devdocs.io`. It's open source and works great!

Oh my...

It's in fact the second most common surname in Romania.

"it's called being smart"

Wrong.

I don't think the parent comment was actually agreeing but instead of mocking Donald Trump's response to Hillary's comment about him not paying federal income tax. But I could be wrong.
