VideoLAN @videolan App Stores were a mistake. Currently, we cannot update VLC on Windows Store, and we cannot update VLC on Android Play Store, without reducing security or dropping a lot of users... For now, iOS App Store still allows us to ship for iOS9, but until when?

What about something like groceries, oil changes, metro cards, hospital bills, mortgage payments, rent, gym memberships, cash only business, payroll, or anything else that is actually needed by people.

Inatacart gift card, visa or mastercard giftcards, mortgage and hospital bills i dont have a way for, visa giftcards, cash only businesses would benifit greatly due to lower theft risk.
