I did the initial mockups by hand and some of the debugging. Other than that all outsourced.

Is it possible that the guys you outsourced it to could just make their own version and put it on the store? I haven't read a HN article titled "How foobar consulting stole my iPhone app and re-branded it as their own"

That has definitely crossed my mind more than once. There's a few reasons this isn't as scary as one might think:

1. Contractors work on tons of apps, the vast majority of which don't make any money. Their business is making apps, not selling them.

2. Focus on long-term relationships. If the contractor knows you're going to hire them in the future for more work they'll be less likely to screw you over now.

3. Last resort: you can report pirated apps to Apple.

Would you care to throw the offshore team some love by posting who they are? I have a web service and would love to use them if it cost $500.

The original guy I hired doesn't do development any more, but his Elance profile is here: https://www.elance.com/s/iprogs/

Since then for upgrades and other apps I've hired others that have cost more than $500 :)
