   Yes. China does not allow apps with CallKit. We had to remove the app from Chinese appstore.

   The solution would be to disable the CallKit when the app is used in China. That requires work. We don't have the resources to do it. It has to wait until someone either sends a PR or pays for it.

    I let the registration lapse and Apple took it down. Would you like to contribute a few euro towards the Apple fee?

    Just because I read about Tinode for the first time today and clicked on the App store link?

    Fair enough. If you don't need it then you don't need it.
