Any developer knows/understands if the offer comes from a legit source or scumbag. I cannot make other people's choices for them. My answer would be 'no' even for 100k, BUT I am in HN and I suggest people get off facebook and google because they are privacy nightmares (also certified in a couple of audit/security areas - so there's that). Btw I did have an app on Apple store, target audience was children (3-6 years old), it did OK, I just didn't have the time to keep it around (for the little revenue it was bringing).
It worked 100% offline, no tracking, no ads, no nothing. I have a free version as a sample and the full version at $0.99. I chose to sell than help the ad beast grow bigger and track children more.
But that is just me. $50k is a serious amount but it won't make me or break me. For some other parts of the world, where a monthly salary may be $200.....
And while I don't think you personally will sell out like this, I wanted to highlight that a) it's easy to make such an offer sounding legit enough (particularly to developers with little experience with the world at large), and b) an Authenticator app is a perfectly valid target for such offer. I'd even say it's more lucrative target than most.
