Their FAQ states that previously installed unverified apps won't be able to install updates which suggests to me that they won't disable or uninstall them. Hopefully someone can confirm.

Surprised this doesn't have more upvotes, without phone number registration Beeper Mini isn't actually back.

The tutorial talks about how to do a local webserver where you manually navigate to the IP address. How is this being served over the internet?

Wow. This is so eye opening.

Totally, I imagine they incentivize / encourage bad restaurants to appear as ghost kitchen brands on their platform, and to algorithmically inflate reviews so that most averages appear to be over 4.0.

Absolutely, my wife and I cook most of our meals. The bad experience I had with DoorDash earlier today was exacerbated by the fact that we're both at home recovering (suffering) from COVID at the moment and so using their service was more out of necessity than anything else and they really fell short.

Thank you. What drivel, my god.

Do you know anyone who works at Google (or have a friend of a friend)? Employees have an internal tool called help my friend to assist with situations like this.

MI3 undoubtedly the best - the artwork, the music, the puzzles. I revisited it a few years ago and it was still a joy to play.

I'm using Cloud Functions as well - where did you move them to? Lambda?

Firebase App Distribution can work for this, except a) you would need to manually invite all 50 testers via their emails and b) updates aren't installed automatically - the user must download the update themselves (either via an email notification link which takes them to the App Tester web UI, or they can download the App Tester app itself).

The first part probably isn't an issue, but depending on how non-technical your users are, getting them to successfully install it and then manually retrieve updates may be a bumpy ride (I'm thinking back to what I read about the Iowa Caucus disaster).

To the OP, they do provide the raw HTML to Polaris Components (this is what I use -- I don't know React). Not sure if that's the same as HTML "components" though.

I think I remember seeing your thread (and responding to it). That sucks.

I had previously built a rails app using Shopify CLI and it failed review due to some endless cookies loop that I could not reproduce caused by their gem. In the end, I just rolled my own OAuth / user database / Billing - but talk about a waste of time.

This is 100% my experience as a developer of Shopify POS plugins (building features that "should" just be included in the core product). I entered their ecosystem 9 months ago bright-eyed with the hope of being the captain of my own ship and hopefully building a living; I now feel like I have essentially signed myself up to build core features for their app (and dealing with frustrated customers who, rightfully, believe this feature should just be free and included), with the added handicap of being a third-party developer, and making significantly less than what I would make if I simply worked or contracted for them.

For now my apps are growing each month, but the culture and practices have left a bad taste in my mouth such that I also know that this is not for me in the long-term, and hope to someday exit their ecosystem.
