I’ve been scammed by @Apple.
3 months ago, I was ready to release my app, the Duolingo for AI prompting.
- 432 people on the waitlist
- weeks of iterations
- landing pages and even UGCs ready
At the time we had it on my developers repo, so under his Apple developer account. When it was time switch to my own, I paid the $99 application fee to enrol.
Then, silence.
After some emails, they told me my account was UAE based and my iCloud had the United Kingdom location. Easy fix, I changed it.
Still nothing.
At this point it was Mid September and the new Duo came out, and the new CEO came in, so responses from the Apple team went from a little to zero.
I’ve been on the Apple ecosystem for years, and never have I had to deal with something like this.
And no there’s no way I could get a refund either apparently.
Clowns.

Nobody in the UK is watching what’s happening on the Red Sea:
Saudi building a giant data centre - new jobs
$5bn in data centers invested this year - new jobs
AI now shows up in 1 in 30 Gulf job adverts
You can use Youtube and Claude to start learning this. So the next person that DMs me about a job in the middle east, there you go.
