Hey everyone, I applied for the App Store Small Business Program on February 18th and I still haven't heard anything back, that's almost 20 days now. Is this normal? How long did it take for those of you who got approved? I'm starting to wonder if my application even went through correctly. Would really appreciate hearing your experiences — especially if you applied recently. Did anyone else wait this long? Thanks

Hello everyone, I’m reaching out from the music publishing side and would appreciate guidance from developers or anyone familiar with TestFlight governance. We’ve identified an app that has been distributed via TestFlight for an extended period (regular renewals, updates, and new TestFlight builds). The app’s core functionality involves publishing copyrighted musical works (sheet music), without authorization from the authors or rightsholders. We have attempted to contact the developer using the contact details available through the TestFlight listing and associated project information. To date, we have received no response, and the TestFlight distribution continues. From our perspective, the developer appears to rely on TestFlight to keep the app off the App Store, where standard copyright enforcement mechanisms would normally apply. My questions are: Does Apple consider long-term, continuously renewed TestFlight distribution to be a form of public distribution? Is there a mechanism within the Apple ecosystem to address repeated copyright infringement occurring specifically via TestFlight? From a developer-policy perspective, how does Apple Inc. typically handle cases where TestFlight is used to bypass compliance obligations rather than for genuine beta testing? I’m not looking for legal advice here — just insight into how Apple and the developer community view and handle this type of situation. Thanks in advance for any guidance or experience you can share.

Hey guys! I've recently noticed a number of PaaS'es and CPaaS'es offering bulk outgoing messaging using the iMessage the same way it's done with the SMS. I always thought that iMessage sort of only allowed businesses to send outgoings subject to user contacting their account first (to avoid being spammed). But then there's those I mentioned above. Have you faced anything like this? Did Apple make changes to the model so that businesses can now initiate conversations with users? If so, how does it work?

I have a problem in the appstore upload process, they say that "Your app is still intended to be used by a specific business or organization, including partners, clients, or employees of Nusantara-Group." The application is indeed intended for clients in my company, so what is the solution?
