In September 2015 I decided to update the MineSweeper on AppStore to version 3.0. With a great pleasure I could announce on December 18, 2015 the version was alive! With a great despair I have to announce it is gone. Why?
Well, I am just a researcher. My whole work on the netbeans:Html4Java APIs that later become known as DukeScript was motivated by overcoming challenges:
- make sure Java can run everywhere
- make sure Java is more effective than JavaScript
- ensure such applications can be deployed everywhere
- return Java Bck2Brwsr
I believe all of my goals were successfully met. The APIs I designed can be executed everywhere including such (Java) hostile environments like modern browsers. The code one has to write with netbeans:Html4Java APIs is on par and sometimes even shorter than its JavaScript version. The fact that my MineSweeper can be executed on Android, iOS, desktop and in a browser is a proof that it can run everywhere.
However Apple wants me to pay $99 to proof that. I paid once. I paid again the next year, but they want such payment every year! For what!? For me to demonstrate that developers can use netbeans:Html4Java everywhere? I have no benefits from that so far, and I decided to not pay the remedies to Apple this year. The result? The MineSweeper application is no longer available from AppStore.
I am sad. Apple has no cost distributing my application. Still Apple wants me to do a yearly payment. I am giving up. If somebody wants to distribute my MineSweeper, please go on, but I am giving up - giving up on Apple.
