Degen

Hey Degens,

Quick update on the Degen App release: the app is ready to go, but we're still working through a painfully long Apple Review process. We've now resubmitted four times, and this round we're officially filing an appeal.

In the latest review, Apple claimed Degen tipping counts as an in-app purchase, even though we specifically removed that functionality from the newest build. It seems they might not have even opened the app this time 🤦‍♂️

We're doing everything we can to resolve this quickly, but Apple tends to move slowly. Our best estimate is that this process could take another week or two.

We appreciate everyone's patience and support; we're so close to launch. In the meantime, we'll keep building 💪

Sounds about right for the approval process. One time I had an app that had an external lib included *for identity verification* that had NFC functionality. We explicitly disabled it and it was still denied 4 times citing the same reason every time. I finally gave up and got on a midnight call to the devs in Estonia and had them make an entirely separate build for me. Still one more denial even after removing any trace of NFC.
