<p class="MsoPlainText">Dear all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Today I discovered that PocketSword is no longer downloadable from the App Store!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">NB. I've already alerted Michael Johnson via Messenger.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">cf. The original developer (Nic Carter) stopped developing the software after he moved to teach in New Zealand several years ago.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Presumably, Apple has ruled that those apps that were designed only for iOS 10 or earlier should be removed from the store.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">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?"<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Best regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
