Cheers
Not a software thief!
Update: I received a reply from the developer EIGHT YEARS later saying the bug “was fixed within 24 hours”. Amazing.
Update 2: Developer replied “Just clearing up the facts”. Sure, but the fact still remains this developer did the most irresponsible and despicable thing I’ve ever encountered an iOS developer do - ever.

Interesting comment. Developers make equally bad mistakes all the time. I wish I could tell you about the the really bad ones Apple has made (causing financial and data loss to users), but we were forced to sign an NDA. As for the tweets, we asked Twitter to remove the tweets the same day, but they refused. If you owned a shop, and had more shoplifters than customers, you might put in an alarm -maybe a tongue-in-cheek one- maybe not a perfect one. We had A$20mil taken by pirates. Our answer was a tongue-in-cheek tweet, but he decided against it and thought it was completely removed, but one bit of it sent out false positive tweets for 1000 people. We did what we could, as soon as we could. Sorry you were one of them. Anyway, thanks to an inaccurate online article (months later) and personal complaints to Apple execs by a certain tenured professor, the third-party review of the case (in which we were cleared) was overturned. I lost my office, my staff, my house, and my family. So, I guess we are even..
