[sword-devel] PocketSword

[David Haslam]

Dear all,

Today I discovered that PocketSword is no longer downloadable from the App Store!

NB. I've already alerted Michael Johnson via Messenger.

cf. The original developer (Nic Carter) stopped developing the software after he moved to teach in New Zealand several years ago.

Presumably, Apple has ruled that those apps that were designed only for iOS 10 or earlier should be removed from the store.

cf. Back in late 2020, I ask them "Is there a high risk that next month Apple may disqualify PocketSword from the App Store if it’s not updated to their latest data privacy standards?"

Michael informed us in May 2022 that his friend Craig Ahlman had volunteered to work on PocketSword. Even so, there's been no news of any progress since then.

I would be very sad if this excellent front-end app for iPhone and iPad devices could not be brought back to see the light of day.

Best regards,

David
