All of Dash’s App Store revenue has migrated to direct sales, with a slight increase.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Dash for iOS was never a significant part of my revenue and like most iOS apps it was never sustainable. I should have open-sourced it a long time ago, as it now brings in more revenue by promoting Dash for macOS.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Dash for iOS returned to the App Store just a few days after I open-sourced it, thanks to He Tiancong<\/a> and Jie Wang<\/a>. This is despite the fact that I specifically chose a license<\/a> that’s incompatible with the App Store. I highly recommend avoiding Dash on the iOS App Store, as I do not know what modifications they have made to my code.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Previously: Apple Removed Dash From the Mac App Store<\/a>, Apple and Kapeli Respond About Dash<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Update (2017-01-12): Both of the iOS apps are called Dash and have the same icon. And one of them even uses Kapeli’s name. Apple’s reviewers should catch stuff like this.<\/p>\n

@appstore did the same to @i0n1c over his App SysSecInfo. Other App clones w same functionality were approved. Just not his.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
