Wow. I literally use this App every single day. I think it was $5 and I have gotten enormous value from it for 3+ years.

Sad that what is probably a random glitch on Apple's part can just kill a person's livelihood overnight.

I used to be a full time iOS contractor but have moved away from it in the last couple of years. Dealing with this kind of junk is one of the main reasons why. I have lots of similarly frustrating stories from my clients.

Some general backend and web work, and some blockchain stuff as well.

The latter is the opposite set of tradeoffs. Completely permissionless, but lots of riff-raff and scammy nonsense going on.

Sorry to take the topic a little off rails, but - I meet so many contractors who do "blockchain stuff", and I've never asked until now - what kind of blockchain stuff are people paying you to do?
