Apple is killing Rave But we are fighting back.

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 without notice, blocking new downloads, critical updates, and reinstalls.

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.

How we tried to fix it

For months, we tried to work with Apple. They refused.

  1. We asked what we did wrong

    Apple cited a single, vague clause of their developer agreement and refused to explain further.

  2. Their reasons kept changing

    We kept asking for clarification, but Apple's reasons for removing Rave kept changing.

  3. They asked for time to "investigate"

    Months after removing Rave, they said they needed to "investigate" why they took us down.

  4. They refused to negotiate, and eventually stopped responding

    Apple's final message: "We consider this matter closed."

Taking the fight global

Rave has users around the world. We're fighting for our right to exist.
