Avatron is reasonably sized and notable developer. That's what makes this whole incident interesting.
Ok, but this developer states in his tweets that's not his case at least.
As a former Apple employee, surely he can find someone to help him make the connection.
Are you beginning to see the problem here? A “normal” developer is screwed. You need to be pretty large (“reasonably sized”) and have good contacts at Apple (which is nowhere near as easy as you think it is, and basically impossible for most non-US developers) to even have a chance to have such things fixed.
So, the only recourse against Apple's missteps is "well if you're in the old boys' club, you might be in luck"? But this is Apple, so it's somehow okay. Magic.
Hey - if you don't mind, could you share your contact details? I have a question.
