What Apple did
After ten years and 73 million iOS downloads, Apple shut Rave down.
Removed from the App Store
Apple removed Rave from the App Store with no prior notice, blocking new downloads, stopping critical updates, and preventing users who'd lost the app from reinstalling it.
Blocked on Mac
Apple revoked Rave's developer certificate, causing macOS to block Rave with a false malware warning.
11.4 million users locked out
Apple disabled Sign in with Apple for Rave, locking users out of accounts they'd used for years.
Silenced notifications
Rave iOS users stopped receiving invitations and messages from their friends.
We tried to resolve this
For months, we tried to work with Apple. They refused.
-
We asked what we did wrong
Apple cited a single, vague clause of their developer agreement and refused to explain further.
-
Their reasons kept changing
We kept asking for clarification, but Apple's reasons for removing Rave kept changing.
-
They asked for more time, after the removal
Apple kept requesting additional time to "investigate," months after they'd already taken Rave down.
-
They refused to negotiate, and eventually stopped responding
Apple's final message: "We consider this matter closed."
We're fighting back
Rave has users around the world. We're fighting for our right to exist in key markets.
How you can help
The more people who stand with us, the harder this is for Apple to ignore.
