Apple did this to me too, without explanation. They've owed me $13,860 for over a year now.

You're 100% at their mercy.

We should start a poll to see how common this is

They've screwed you again: your donation slider doesn't work on the iPhone. Best of luck to you.

You need a certain amount of karma to make polls. Not sure how much - but it's more than 465, which is what I have.

This is the same Apple that plans for GateKeeper to check a certificate server for blacklisted apps and developers in OS X 10.8.

Imagine not even being in the App Store and your app's mainstream customers with default settings seeing a scary warning message because your certificate was accidentally blacklisted. Coming to the HN front page later this year..? :-)

Orienting your business around the ecosystem of a corporation with an itchy trigger finger is a tricky game of dice.

You only need 20 karma to make polls.

I'm amazed anyone decides to develop for the Apple app stores. This is not the first time this sort of thing has happened, by a long shot. Due diligence means not putting all your eggs in the Apple basket.
