Apple watch keyboard developer put off by app store scammers

I just publish it on GH, without a distribution license[0].

These folks are experts. They probably know exactly what terminology to use, which screens to optimize, etc. Just because they are scammers, doesn't mean they are stupid.

They could probably actually make legit money, giving classes on the Apple App Store process.

Huh, interesting. I was imagining GH would be the worst place to put code considering the existence of immoral vacuum cleaners, but the platform is such a firehose, and the apps you're publishing sufficiently domain-specific, that it seems to work. Interesting.

And yeah, wow, the scammers could give classes... with the only irony that the once out of the "game", as it were, an individual ex-player's info will literally become outdated within 30 seconds :/ - or at least that's the impression I get.

It wouldn’t be too difficult to publish it as a zip file on one of my sites; but no need (at present). GH is quite convenient. I do believe in open source, but I don’t really care too much about Free Software.

Yeah, the Apple app provisioning system changes so much, and so quickly, that you blink; you miss it.
