Hi Dennis, They can just submit the update with previous functionality removed, see if Apple approves it, and if they don't approve it, the dev can just put back the functionality and resubmit it. I don't think this is an issue where the developer would need to consult a lawyer. There's no risk

Mike, I'm glad you came up with a workable solution. Would you mind indulging me and adding corp to your pronunciation dictionary with corpe as its substituted word? I'm just curious how your synth handles this and it will be a lot easier for you to check than for me to change my synth to test it.

Can’t speak for the Voice Dream team, but it’s usually a whole lot easier just to submit and let Apple approve or send back any changes that need to be made during the submission process. Hope this helps. Cheers! Cara > On Apr 1, 2024, at 4:56 PM, Dennis Long wrote: > > I would think

One time, after an update, for some crazy reason, my cellular data was cut off, and I have unlimited. That kind of thing is an unnecessary problem, which is annoying to me, but regardless of whether I liked it or not, it was what it was. I just don't get though, why changes take places in

If you’re talking about the change they made when the app changed ownership, I never interpreted that to be a life time guarantee. I always just assumed that applied to the changes they were making at the time. Of course, my opinion is irrelevant. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) =>÷ Chaltain at

Hi All, Running iOS 17.4.1 on an SE2022 phone, and I can't get pronunciations to say, " Corp", instead of, "Corporation." I've tried inputting both words into the Add field and both words into the substitution field with all combinations, but I can't get Corp to be spoken in replacement of

He's simply wrong about that guideline. Those guidelines are for third-party developers who submit apps to the App Store. Only that team will be able to ultimately make the final decision. Those guidelines are Apple telling developers what's expected of them on the App Store, Apple wouldn't write

There are three settings one needs to turn off, unless you know that you want them on. Turn off wifi assist, which switches to cellular when wifi is weak, icloud drive which uses cellular to transfer data to icloud if wifi is weak, and icloud backup which uses cellular if wifi is weak. These

I interpreted what they said to mean that everything about the app prior to subscription would continue to work. The only change would be that one no longer could add new content for it to read,  and none of the new features would be added. Arnold Schmidt Sent from  Arnold's  iPhone S E 3On Apr 1,

Unfortunately the App Store is deceiving regarding this. It will display the logo if any of in-app purchases or subscriptions supports this. So it is entirely possible that what you reported is correct - there are other in-app purchases from the old version of the app that have Family sharing

You’re right, if they just let the existing app die on the vine, and they put out a new app, then it wouldn’t be much of a burden to them. I was assuming they’d still just have one app that would start including the new functionality for the subscribers but leave the existing functionality for
