Well it was a fun few days but beeper mini is down. Someone supposedly affiliated with the project said on reddit it was on Beeper’s end but people testing it say Apple has blocked something.

        lol yes

        They charged a subscription, there’s a material loss. Not saying they’ll win but apples walled garden has been defeated in a few places (right to repair, usb c, side loading apps, defaulting music players etc).

          They charged a subscription with a 7 day free trial for everyone that signed up. It’s been less than 7 days, ergo no one has been charged any money.

            Potential earnings then. You can sue for anything and I hope they do. Even if they lose it will add to the anticompetitive pile of shit that will eventually force them to open up.
