Would this be the iOS 'alternative'? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47010018

The pre-iOS 26 native camera app is good enough for me, and I really like Live Photos, which most alternatives don't handle.

I had a one-time purchase to Halide, but it somehow stopped working in early 2025 because Halide support claimed that the app's feature unlock (used to be one-time upfront purchase, now IAP) only works if I'm logged into the App Store account I purchased it from.

From description in Appstore:

*Please note: Halide is not free. We do offer a 7-day free trial for annual memberships. Don't like subscriptions? You can also buy the app outright with a single in-app purchase.*

Is that what you did?

I bought Halide v1, which was an upfront purchase.

They grandfathered all existing v1 purchasers, but the grandfathering somehow stopped working for me because I didn't buy it on my primary App Store account (I switch between regions, but pay for my non-free apps using my US account because they're usually cheaper).

Why not, you know, bite an apple?

I was 100% certain that there will be someone: "well actually, its not real money until ..."

You said iOS, which means iPhones. iPads are ipadOS.

How do they know? (Serious question)

Because

> all known minefields have been cleared

When clearing minefields, one does not miss mines, because that would be lethal! Every cube inch is carefully mapped. It is extremely hard work.

Is it possible there are mine fields that are not known yet?
