    Hello everyone, today I woke up to my developer account being suspended without a single letter why which is why the apps are crashing. Please bear with me while I try to get this fixed with Apple. Thank you for understanding.

    Thank you all so much for your support. Apple has re-enabled my account (again without a single word, apology or anything) and I will be uploading new builds shortly. Full story: blog.charliemonroe.net/a-day-without-…

    Good news, everyone! You can now access beta of Downie for iOS. Once Downie is officially released, beta will expire and will be removed. Downie will only be available in EU via Setapp Marketplace initially. It will NOT be available on Apple's App Store.

    I've reviewed this as promised and you are correct - it's a leftover from many years ago and definitely not the best way to get people to use genuine software. For that I do appologize. If you otool -tV Downie, you can also find out where it's displayed and that it's [...]

    Many thanks to everyone at @Apple for working on the issue. They managed to un-revoke the certificates, meaning that for many people, this will fix the issue. There are, however, some caching issues. Please see the updated blog post for more information. blog.charliemonroe.net/a-day-without-…

    Nemůže v týhle zemi aspoň něco jednou fungovat? Jako WTF?! Už 24 minut se snažím vybrat pro babičku termín. Good job, idioti. Tenhle čas bych vám měl fakturovat.
