@Gargron thats exciting! do they let you know *before* its live or right as it goes live?

Liaizon Wakest

@Gargron oh thats good! have you thought about who you will reach out too for the announcement? who do you personally want to flood into the fediverse? contacting some news sources that are of a more general nature might be nice.

Mccobsta

@Gargron some times it will be hell others you'd get someone who actually knows what their doing

Build rejected because it links to the GitHub of Mastodon which links to the Patreon :cate:

@Gargron Yes, Apple is a real bitch :apple_inc:

@Gargron What? You're not giving Apple their 30% of your Patreon income for a product they're not involved with in any way? Apple wants 30% of everything.

@Gargron

if client == "apple":

@Gargron Do they forbid any kind of fundraising/subscription platform?

Eugen Rochko

@tagomago They require any such thing to go through in-app-purchases

Tagomago

@Gargron Uh-huh, of course... 🙄. Yet you can have it as long as it's not linked on the app?

Shanya

@Gargron which is why we do not develop for Apple

Brion Vibber

@Gargron what'd you expect? Apple store demands a 30% cut of all income that's possible to reach through the app, and your app will allow links to anything.

@Gargron I’d reply to the reviewer explaining that the Patreon is for supporting the development of the project, not for monetizing usage of the app. (By the way they may take over a day to reply)

Eugen Rochko

Waiting for Apple review on another build

oshy

@Gargron
Sorry if the question ist already have been answered, I'm pretty new in the Mastodon universe, but what ist about Android?
And by the way, thanks for the great work on Mastodon! I like it! 😁

AlexSittner, Tusky is a good app, it's not official, but it looks and feels like one.

@grishka
Thanks, I use "Fedilab" and pretty happy with. But it is interesting what the original Mastodon-app would looks like...

Eugen Rochko

“Welcome to the App Store” :smug:
(It’s not live yet, but stay tuned)

stux⚡

@Gargron wow, that was quite fast for Apple standards

Григорий Клюшников

sтυx⚡, they usually review in less than a day. Being an Android developer, it was always fun to look at my iOS colleagues wait for the verdict from the overlords. Was funnier when it was rejected for stuff like "we typed 'porn' into the search field and naked people came up, this is in violation of the won't someone please think of the children app store review guideline despite your app having 18+ rating".

@uther It’s the Swiss railroad company. I don’t know what exactly the letters stand for.

Blackisgood

@Gargron @uther ffs probably stands for (Ferrovie dello Stato / State Railways ) old sigle for Italian Railways, now there are more private companies even some is State Railways; but ,now own name should to be TRENITALIA (ITALIAN TRAINS ) FS was for sure old name of Italian State Railways. I don't know more .

@Gargron One of the many many reasons to despise Apple. Not only does it attract people who have zero idea how computers work and prefer it that way (appliance operators), Apple wants to literally OWN any software, buy out the company if necessary, allowed on it's ripped off Linux OS. In this case, iOS, they're attempting to cancel your ability to fund future development.
