What constant updates demanded?

I recently pulled it but I had a ios app since 2010, nothing advanced and was only updated every couple of years.

There was only twice I had to do a update because of iOS updates. Once a crashing bug and once to look nice on large screen devices.

You are "lucky" that your code was not affected/impacted from the changes throughout the decade. I have written my first app in the winter of 2017, and because of the functionality/libraries/code I used, every update has been a pain in the butt. Not impossible, but I did it as a hobby, not as a profession/income.

I understand the need to progress and develop/create/evolve the programming languages, techniques, environments, it's just not fit for a hobby (in my case)(YMMV).

What has forced you to update? iOS has not changed how core APIs work in a decade.
