$200 mean very different things to different people.

I would never say it's "reasonable" to expect anyone (including maintainers) to contribute money or code to an open source project.

Must be easy for you to type these things from your comfortable armchair.

So what's the point of spending months and months and months of your time just to shut down your project when it could possibly be worked out for several $100? Is the situation that the authors have a lot of time and no money? Could we get the project some money if that's the case? Apps like this are so important. Every year they become more critical.

And I would like if someone could please confirm is this related to literal code problems or systemic problems with Apple and Google?
