<div dir="ltr">Yup.<div><br></div><div>I will add this one...</div><div><br></div><div>No company wide ticketing system and no consistent way to report a problem.</div><div><br></div><div>As a developer you deal with:</div><div>1. developer program</div><div>2. itunes connect</div><div>3. itunes support</div><div>4. b2b program.</div><div>5. consumer support for hw repair.</div><div><br></div><div>Each of those has its own support people that cannot and will not talk to each other.</div><div><br></div><div>This lets them tell you that you have to talk to the other group when ever you have a problem. There is no centralized ticket so that they can hand the ticket over to the other group.</div><div><br></div><div>The worst is itunes connect support. That is done by email with a 48 hour turn around. I have literally waited 48 hours for a response: "Are you still having a problem?" To which I responded yes (within 5 minutes) and waited 48 hours to get their second response.</div><div><br></div><div>To manage this I create a forum post (on apple developer website) with my current state of my issue and all new information. When I submit the problem to Apple I give them the URL to the issue. I update the issue with each interaction with Apple so that when it is handed off between groups at Apple they can see the history without it being muddled in an email thread.</div><div><br></div><div>All their support people are very well trained. The consumer support will often go beyond their specified things they support to help.</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Oct 10, 2016 at 11:07 AM, Jim Kinney <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jim.kinney@gmail.com" target="_blank">jim.kinney@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">I'm wondering if there's a GPL v. 3.1 with a clause like "this can't be run on a system that relies on closed source, proprietary software for it's basic operation".</p>
