It's not just that the software has gone years without updates, but also if there have been no or very few downloads. Reading the actual update from Apple: https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=gi6npkmf it states specifically "minimal download threshold — meaning the app has not been downloaded at all or extremely few times during a rolling 12 month period "
For your #1 point our team has had great success using PlantUML for our diagrams. They can be easily output for slides or wiki pages, but it's all written in code so we can keep them in our git repo for tracking.
Working at a theme park doing technology work, it allows for free access to the theme park (significant other included) and other theme parks in the area. Deep discounts are provided on merchandise and hotels in the area.
Developers can also do images in resolution independent ways for certain types of image assets used in the apps, like icons. You wouldn't be able to do these for photos, but it would help.
Also for our app, when it first loads we detect your screen size and then download assets that match for that screen size only when needed.
This is the same as the jump from iOS 6 to iOS 7, except that was more UI code. It was difficult to support both and keep the correct look and feel between the apps without a lot of extra work, even more if you weren't using auto layout. The basic controls changed a lot and the change with the status bar still affects apps today.
I agree this might be nice for certain apps, say the Youtube app, where the whole purpose of the app is to show video to the user.
I write a bunch of apps right now that have the ability to show video has one of the many functions of the app. Having to put an icon like this on every screen would take up a lot of screen real estate and I think confuse a lot of our users.
I had a similar issue, typed in my zip code (32773) and it listed Summit Broadband with a 100mbps fiber connection. Looked at their site, they're close by (a couple cities over), but not in my area. Couldn't find anywhere to report the issue.
Looks like this could be useful, if the app supported multiple apple id's it would make managing multiple accounts a lot easier than using the website.
Simple answer: Don't get information from kids under 13 unless you have parents permission. You must also have a privacy policy.
Complex answer: How you determine if the person is under 13 and how you get the parents permission can be done a lot of different ways. Some of the most popular is doing a test charge against a credit card number, assuming kids won't have those.
I disagree, if I order something from a site and it says it'll ship and I don't get it, I would probably call, which would probably get everything fixed.
Since my card would never have been charged I don't think there's any fraud or legal actions that could occur.
