Yeah no, publishing to the App Store is a nightmare in cost and time. I can 100% guarantee they still saved money on 30% fees even after this $8000 snafu.
Screen Studio has 32k followers, lets say 6% are end users, 2000 users at $229, that is $137k in App Store fees.
I am going to say writing your own app update script is a wash time wise, as getting your app published is not trivial, especially for an app that requires as many permissions as screen studio.
Some people don’t like using the AppStore. I like to keep backups of installers so I can control the version. And if it gets pulled from the AppStore, I’ll always have a copy.
