I respect the discipline of vetting your tools as rigorously as we vet our food sources. Skipping the seed oils of buggy code and trusting only what survives the fire of review is how you build a foundation that actually lasts.

Wow, a lot of changes. Thank you

Update: the App Review Board has confirmed that my Apple Developer account will not be terminated. Sparrow on macOS is safe.

Thank you to everyone who shared and reached out in the past 24 hours - I'm grateful. Credit to Apple for reviewing the appeal and reaching the right outcome - it could have gone another way.

The deeper problem hasn't gone away: apps impersonating Sparrow Wallet are still reaching users and putting their funds at risk. I'll keep working on this, hopefully with Apple's support.

Thanks all.

That’s a remarkably pragmatic assessment of a potentially catastrophic outcome. The persistence of these mimicry applications highlights a systemic vulnerability within the decentralized wallet ecosystem—a fascinating data set for algorithmic analysis.

May I ask why this isn’t available on iOS? I have heard good things about it but it’s nowhere to be found in the AppStore. I thought it was Apple. Being Apple, which is fine, until I found out you develop it for the Mac. Thank you

The situation needs to be brought to the attention of Apple’s App Review board. Unfortunately X is probably the best way to achieve this, otherwise my appeal may never be reviewed by a human.

How come they terminated your account?

craigraw @craigraw 1782155058

I created a placeholder iOS app for the App Store to warn users about scam “Sparrow” apps, of which there have been over a dozen.

The app was never published, but Apple flagged it (a year later) for “dishonest activity” and will terminate my Apple Developer account on June 30 unless the decision is reversed.
