Just get a switch, the entire crisis about this gen causing a second industry crash is nonexistent over there. We got like six new games for xmas

Think I know what happened here. Apple will reject updates if there’s anything broken or outdated in it. ie, support for a new screen aspect ratio, the dynamic island thing, new processor type, new version of Xcode, etc. Square can’t just fix one bug and ship it, they have to also check for and update anything that may have fallen a few years out of date. Sometimes you just recompile and click a few new checkboxes, sometimes it’s more work. If the app’s profits are winding down already, it could make more sense (to bean counters who don’t care about game preservation) to retire the app entirely.
