New Apple Developer iOS requirements beginning April 30

[Rick Harrison]

The easiest solution is for everyone to immediately stop developing apps for iOS.
That will definitely get Apple’s attention.  Developers are sick of all the stupid
requirements Apple constantly throws at us for our apps.  Any apps we
develop that we put into their store always gets buried in the piles and piles
of apps there.  If you just develop for macOS well at least you can avoid
most of the screen size requirements.

Thanks for the update anyway Henry.
