We had to go through the same thing two months ago with Ellipsis, a perfectly working game on iOS and AppleTV. We couldn’t justify the time and effort cost.
Sadly, after 6 years, Ellipsis is no longer available on iOS.
Terrible policy from Apple
I feel sick. Apple just sent me an email saying they're removing my free game Motivoto because its more than 2 years old.
It's part of their App improvement system.
This is not cool. Console games from 2000 are still available for sale.
This is an unfair barrier to indie devs.
