❗️ State of 2024.2.1 for macOS

The macOS version is still in review. The App Store review team singled out the fact that AFO is asking the user for folder access (i.e., your vault). Over the course of the last two weeks, I’ve received three rejections for 2024.2.1, even though the app doesn’t do anything differently than 2024.2.0. (Also, the nigh identical iOS version was already accepted.)

Without going into too much detail: I do not even understand what they want from me. They keep repeating the same sentence over and over again, attaching the same screenshot of the app asking for the vault folder during the onboarding process – but I’m not even sure they understand what AFO is doing, and why it is asking for folder access (which is necessary to make Get File and Save File etc. work).

It’s both infuriating and kind of soul crushing at the same time.

So I’ve submitted an appeal to the App Review board which is something a developer can do in such cases. I hope I’ll get actual information from them, or talk to an actual human – fingers crossed.

I’ll keep you posted.
