Notwithstanding that this developer was also a journalist using his access to beta software to learn about upcoming announcements before Apple wanted them announced, I have to wonder how suspending his developer account without any explanation isn’t grounds for a breach of contract lawsuit. If they told him right from the start that he was booted for violating NDA or even just for pissing off their marketing team that would be fine... but suspending and then ghosting him? Apple needs to pay and pay big for that.


The Apple Developer Agreement states: > Your rights under this license to use and access the Content will terminate automatically without notice from Apple if you fail to comply with any of these provisions.

They also state that it's against the agreement to share pre-released information.

There's absolutely no grounds for someone to complain here.
