Unauthorized MacOS version on AppStore? #24

Open joska opened 3 years ago

Hi guys, found this on the AppStore: https://apps.apple.com/cz/app/graphic-design-animation-svg/id1475389187?mt=12. Is it you?

Thanks for the note. It's not me. I've been advised of it previously. If they are not publishing any changes they make to the software, it may be a violation of the open source license agreement.

I actually tried to publish a free download of macSVG on the App Store, but Apple rejected it due to the "mac" prefix. I decided that I liked the name macSVG, so instead I'm using Apple's code-signing service for external distribution on GitHub.

In any case, macSVG may no longer be feasible after Apple removes the existing APIs in WebKit that allow DOM manipulation in native apps. We'll see if that happens next month at Apple's WWDC developer conference. When it happens, Apple will remove the bogus macSVG app from the App Store.

best, Doug

It's been removed for sure! (at least, in my country, Portugal — EU)
