*they spot birds.

It's all just code. Languages like React, Kotlin and Flutter can help you write apps that run on both smartphone types. Web apps are doable except for things that need specific hardware like accelerometers and gyros.

Web app GPS works great for me and notifications work seamlessly on iOS

Make an Android version before Google gets around to finalizing dev verification.

this should be legally challenged - I'll contribute

Meanwhile, rename it ice cream truck and put it back up so people can share info about those trucks

Boycott Apple. Call them at 1-800-275-2273 and demand ICEBlock be added back to the App Store. More contact options: support.apple.com/en-us/106932...

Since ICE wear masks, drive in unmarked cars, and will not identify themselves as ICE, this app is really only allowing people to report potential ICE impersonators.

If only you made a version for the platform that gives users the freedom to sideload.

What happens if you’ve already downloaded the app?

Then use social media to give alerts. FIND the work arounds like "phone trees" the PTA uses to get the word out, Good luck!

That would be amazing. That said, I've not owned an iPhone or any other Apple device for over a decade, so it's pretty easy for me to agree to this. I did however see that Google is also pulling all "similar" apps from the Play store, so I'm not sure what the alternative is.

Is there a way to boycott Apple here? Yes, we need a workaround, but we also need to send the message that it is the government that is causing violence and harm, not people resisting ICE! And Apple is on the WRONG side here!

The Apple main switchboard is (408) 996–1010. If you ask politely they’ll connect you to a real person who will take your complaint.

Any chance we can see the entire email?

Best of luck

I agree with others here: As quickly as possible, build a responsive web app. If you don’t do it, other devs should get the f on it.

Time to cancel my Apple subscriptions.

Unfortunately Apple is even bigger than Disney. A lot more people would need to cancel and return a lot more Apple products

Please tell me there’s a back door or bootleg available

Make a web app that can’t be removed

Fascism.

Here’s the thing ICE is an illegal gang of thugs who pretend to be part of the government that shit has to be abolished when dems take the house and the senate Krist Norm you are an appalling traitor go fuck yourself tramp

chicken. everyone is too chicken to do anything. how can apple let the admin walk all over them? if one group takes a stand, maybe others will follow. holy moly, when does it end?

“Objectionable content” makes it sound like it’s child pornography. Why isn’t Apple just honest and say the government got the company to remove the app either because of a threat to its operations or a promise of more tax breaks or lucrative deals. Your users already know that’s the real reason.

Corporate america continues it capitulation. The wealthy class always become Nazis.

When Trump's DoJ demanded Apple pull ICEblock they complied within hours. The developer called it “capitulation to an authoritarian regime” on baseless claims. Civil liberties experts agree #BigTech #FreeSpeech #IamTheEnemyWithin #WeAreTheEnemyWithin #ICEBlock medium.com/@LibertysLen...

Let’s all use waze. When I see a “speed trap” on a parking lot or in a residential street or anywhere else then a highway I know enough.

We will ALWAYS find a way to stay informed and keep others informed!

Told ya months ago to make a sideloadable android version or a web version. you ignored us for 'reasons'

very much so, Bill Gates is a horrible dude

we all do it from time to time 🫂

Will the app continue to function for those of us that still have it?

If you happen to own Apple stock:

Trump just sued and received $24 million from Google for taking down his YouTube account after the 1/6 insurrection. The corruption is out of control. #trump #ICEBlock

How about a responsive web app with separate secure submissions? Web site can be read-only site and/or pwa, with maps, on-phone notifications (without a login) Submissions should be a separate system. Security focus, with mods. With an open API, which is the data for the pwa Also works on desktop
