So I'm taking English and I have to write about an issue affecting the community. I need a good(and real) issue thats affecting the iOS developer community. I'm currently searching, but any of you have any thoughts?

I was thinking somewhere along the lines of:

- App Cracking
- Copies of your app that you have been working hard on for months.
- New/Edited Apple Policies (i.e Taking less crap like soundboard apps etc...

and making sure that they receive some % of your sales (Updated Subscription Policy))
- Sales Downfalls (you could talk about the marketing side of app distribution)

Im not sure that you could write 4 different types of essays on them, but they are some suggestions.

it's a college level course and I have to make an illustrative for my first essay then I make it into an argumentative and so on and so on.

App Piracy/Cydia. I would go for people that "steal" apps. Not only is it something that happens in the community, but also it is close to relevant topics from elsewhere that you can draw on for your essay.

You can easily write 2 essays on this, the first to set the scene of the issue, i.e. an illustrative essay. The second to start your argument for or against the cydia store and some of the dubious going on over there

I agree that it is a topic worth writing about.
