One More Disaster [Updated x 4]

My Secrets has been suddenly removed from sale in the App Store, together with its free version. No word from Apple as to why. I’m trying to figure out what the hell is going on. I will update this post in the process.

Update

I got the following response from iTunes Connect:

Your application was removed from sale due to export compliance issues. You will be contacted by the Apple Export Compliance Team by the end of the week.

I will refrain from commenting it until I have all the details. My gut feeling is that the issue is with the US encryption export laws.

Update 2

After a delay caused by Apple having to set up an internal procedure to handle export compliance rejections My Secrets is back to the App Store. For now it’s available in the US and Canada only.

Update 3

After a two months worth hiatus My Secrets is available in some countries. The rest of the world is due within a month, if the Bureau of Industry and Security can do their job on schedule.

Update 4

The nightmare is over! My Secrets is now officially authorized for export from the US and classified as mass market encryption software. That means it’s available in all App Stores across the globe. Life’s going on!

If you wonder what the heck it’s all about, it took me 3 months to get the US Bureau of Industry and Security to classify My Secrets.
