Care to divulge a general idea of what these apps were before expecting sympathy?

Why does what the apps do matter? The dude has software that puts the sushi on the table and google peed all over the table.

I want to know what the ban was for. What if the ban was due to a crypto mining operation? All I am asking for is a little more context before pointing any fingers.

One of the apps by this developer: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cuff-video-chat-make-friends/i...

This does not seem worthy of a ban on the face of it. My sympathy goes out to OP.

The 18+ video chat is one of them... and (apparently) on the same domain is https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bitalert-bitcoin-ether-alert/i... (note the privacy policy and the terms and conditions and look at the top level service).

Having a service that is getting network traffic for both crypto related things and 18+ dating may have raised some algorithmic alarm bells.

And this is worthy of mentioning because?
