Not really a surprise after all the problems. It's unfortunate, but I figured from the start Apple would be sure to shut this app down unless their reverse engineering was undetectable. Clearly it wasn't.

It’s not vanished, they just want ppl to sideload it from here now: https://www.beeper.com/download

Well that's something, I guess. The workarounds aren't really doable for me though.

I like how Apple demonstrates that they don't care about user privacy or security. They want to shut Beeper Mini down, but not standard Beeper that uses Bridges which break e2ee.

They care only so long as they're making money. It's definitely a problem inherent with capitalism.
