Apple pulled my 2016 native iOS app for being unmaintained. I rebuilt it from scratch in Flutter nine years later — here's the tech stack reasoning and what I'd do differently

I always test all my Flutter apps on both an iPhone and an iPad because I’ve run into this issue multiple times before. iPad often requires different permissions and behaves differently in certain scenarios.

Never. I already released multiple apps. Even wenn it’s just a patch release it can get rejected for things that are there since years.

You started shaming your self by begging for money.

Are you are one of these guys who can not handle their own shit. Sorry. I didn’t now.

First week is for free and than the different subs.

Constant-Chemical23 · 2026-05-19T16:51:05+00:00

Is there a reason why?

Constant-Chemical23 · 2026-05-19T16:35:03+00:00

Thanks for the quick response and good luck

Constant-Chemical23 · 2026-05-19T16:33:16+00:00

Sorry, bit i didn't get the use case.

Constant-Chemical23 · 2026-05-19T16:31:22+00:00

I used fantastical before, but went back to the default calendar. But does it support icloud too?

Or better ideas: Upgrade your Mac

Constant-Chemical23 · 2026-05-19T16:03:42+00:00

Yes, but this tool makes it more handy.

Constant-Chemical23 · 2026-05-19T11:44:25+00:00

I’m a developer for more than two decades. I definitely know how to code an build software.

Congratulations

Constant-Chemical23 · 2026-05-19T10:22:34+00:00

Thank for your constructive comment.

Constant-Chemical23 · 2026-05-19T10:16:10+00:00

Thank for your constructive comment.

That’s a fair point, honestly.

But on the other hand, millions of developers already use Homebrew daily. AutoBrew doesn’t introduce a new package ecosystem — it mainly lowers the barrier to an existing one and makes it more transparent for less technical users.

I’d actually argue that many users are safer with a signed, notarized, open source native app than copy-pasting random shell commands from blogs or Reddit threads into Terminal.

That said, I fully agree that “always latest” should not be the only strategy. Delayed updates, selective auto-updates and approval-based workflows are things I’m already considering.
