> If you're in the mobile development space, you have to keep up

The article author has a full-time job as a mobile developer, does keep up, and is not lazy. Your comment was insulting.

> Yes I am aware it's a hobby project.

You show no recognition that people are busy and have better things to do than to constantly update a hobby project to satisfy Apple's whims.



Is updating once a year considered constantly updating? That's the least a "professional" iOS developer should do.

> That's the least a "professional" iOS developer should do.

You continue to show no recognition of the situation, and you also continue to be insulting by putting "professional" in quotes.


Just to recap, update your iOS project once a year, be it hobby or not. I don't want an app that hasn't been updated for 3 years on my son's phone or any device. Call me paranoid but security wise.


These are just your personal opinions. It's unclear why anyone should follow them.

Apple itself seems fine with developers updating once every 3 years, or even longer than 3 years, depending on how many downloads the app has.
