Earlier quoted context omitted.

And when they report bugs to the vendor, and Apple just black holes those bugs, as they do in probably 99.8%+ of bug reports? "Suck it up"?

find a workaround because you already know what is coming down the pipe? this isn't new to development, I've done it in my own apps for apple issues before. maybe they just need some more experienced developers?

I mean yes, ultimately if you want your app to be used, you'll have to do that, but wouldn't it be better if Apple stopped carelessly breaking backward compat with every update?

If only Apple had offered these clowns some sort of beta or developer preview version to test their snake oil against before the widespread release of the new OS...

Absolutely zero sympathy.
