This fall, our team has been combing through court documents, uncovering the story of the battle over the IAP records and the notice program.

I now understood why the Survivor couldn’t remember if he had gotten a letter or email about his IAP records – it was because he was never sent one.

"And if IAP candidate Lynn Chapman gets to 12 percent to 15 percent, all bets are off."

So you're saying there's a chance?

In fact, only 34 Survivors who lived outside of Canada received letters about their IAP records. No Survivors in Canada were contacted directly about their rights. contactingconnie.substack.com/p/only-34-su...

Only 34 Survivors received letters about Residential School record destruction

Documents reveal reveal the court-ordered notice program did not reach out directly to Survivors in Canada.

App and IAP price-point reads support several territories and --include territory:

asc pricing price-points
asc iap pricing price-points list

Filtered IAP price reads now cover every page without requiring --paginate.

Nah sorry, you’re speaking like this is an objectively bad thing and you’re mistaken.

You’re presenting that as required/fiat. Devs don’t have to design around them, and IAP is the much worse crime for devs to design around.

Achievements are fine, you can dislike if you want

I really wish Apple would make an exception to IAP percentages for these kinds of platforms.

Isn’t it possible to simply subscribe or make a donation through the Patreon website?

A couple of months ago, I spoke with an Indian Residential School Survivor about the impending destruction of the Independent Assessment Process (IAP) records. He told me that he didn’t remember if he had gotten a letter or email about his options following the Supreme Court decision.
