Yeah.

The "new default" font color change of 2012 (iOS6?) which left my app
with black on black buttons.  So much for (trusting) convention over
configuration.

The new "all your integers must now be longs" "lets force 64-bit
everywhere" initiative last year that they only decided to email
developers about two weeks ago.  This didn't actually break my app but
caused Xcode to throw up about 8,675,309 warnings I couldn't stand to
look at.

The change in iOS8.0 which caused the applicationDidEnterBackground
callback in AppDelegate.m to no longer fire.  That screwed me over
hard :(

The recent change in iOS8.1 where LocationManager no longer asks for
permission it's damn self and just silently fails.  Part of the fix
required manually modifying my .plist file to add two new string
constants for the new alert I have to manually invoke, I nearly died
from it.

Many times I've scrambled to get a fixed up release shipped only to
wait 7-9 days for them to approve it.  Releasing is slowest when you
need it most.

And Swift, same API, new syntax, brilliant!  I'm currently refusing it exists.
