I came away from that experience with two showstoppers:&lt;p&gt;- Apple does not disclose to you who bought your app.&lt;p&gt;- There is no mechanism to make paid updates possible.  If you want to release a big update and get paid you need to release a new app.  There is no way to contact current users and offer them an inexpensive update.&lt;p&gt;Are these two issues still true of the MacOS App Store?</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Going All in on the Mac App Store</title><url>https://www.unboundapp.com/blog/mac-app-store/</url></story>
