#2Unbelievable. As a developer, if I can't feel safe to develop App for iOS/macOS, why should I do it? Apple should explain why they did such a terrible decision.

#3I feel terrified when I saw this news. I'd never expected this news happened to any of developers, especially for those who work very hard and not intended to do anything wrong with Apple policy. We do very expecting that Apple would response to this developer and wish the problem can be solved.
Best luck Ying.

#4Unbelievable!Apple should not treat such a pure and good independent developer at all, and does not give any representations and explanations.

#5I really enjoyed being indie developer but now I feel so sad about this sentence:
> Believe or not, the era of indie developers has passed.
It's getting obvious that Apple doesn't care much about indie developers. Although most of the unique, special apps are coming from indie.
I wish they not only provide tools but also fix their relationship with developers.

I don't know if it is an Apple misunderstanding. But Apple should give developers at least one opportunity to request and communicate. These developers have been supporting your iOS platform for so long and should not be treated as rudely. It is a disaster for the weak independent individuals and our dreams.

#7shame on Apple.
Re: Apple terminated my developer account for no reason
#8Apple has done a pretty bad job at connecting with developers especially indies. Though at WWDC every year, the're demonstrating how they treat well to developers, how much developers have earned, it's has never been a time when Apple and developers are at a same table. If you're an Apple developer, ask yourself the question how you can communicate with Apple and how soon you can guarantee they would respond.
This hurts, not only Ying, but also indie developers like me.

#9Apple hurts the heart of the entire Chinese indie developer community.

#10It's terrible that the large tech companies are so arrogant that they just terminate an account without a reason or a way to appeal. So this guy should get a chance to argue.
But I also know that every time I read a story in HN about X company terminating my account for no reason there is usually a good reason for the termination. It usually comes down to a user/developer violating the terms of service. I also know that if there was a way to appeal, everyone would do it, and clog the system, since there would be nothing to lose.
I'm conflicted. But anyhow good luck to him.
