From our friend of the program, curator of the Free Tools Association (FTA) and creator of the ActiveGS Plugin and iOS app emulator –
Back in 2011, I published my first iPhone app as a tribute to my Apple 2GS/FTA days. It was both a challenging journey to develop for iPhone 3GS/4 and iOS 3.2 back then, but also the beginning of a hectic journey… as the app was banned by Apple 2 years later for violating the infamous 2.8 -no emulator- rule.
Yet, last Friday, something magical occurred as Apple revised its policies! Within a couple of days, I was finally able to update this 15-year-old app (running 35-year-old emulated code) to have it re-instated in the App Store… more than a decade after its initial ban.
Never give up, never surrender; for tomorrow may hold unexpected surprises!
(If you like very old oldies and are an Apple 2GS die-hard fan, you can have a look at https://apps.apple.com/fr/app/activegs-best-of-fta/id405115025, but please, be indulgent…)
