Requesting the folks at Shopify to please step in and help figure things out. We too have received the trademark notice. And the deadline to fix it is 6 days away. Otherwise, our app will be delisted from the Shopify app store. Just like that. After 5 years of being on the app store and complying with every request or warning or mildly threatening email about fixing something "or else". Quite a violent way to communicate, I feel. Like this is the best a multi billion corporation can do? It does not make any sense @harleyf @ShopifyDevs since the app store is full of apps with "Facebook" and "Instagram" in their app titles and descriptions. Meta is forcing "WhatsApp" named apps to remove the word because they have launched their own WhatsApp app for Shopify. When a big guy flexes, we small people don't have any way out. Except if another big guy ( looking at you @Shopify @tobi ) is there to stand-up and meditate and come up with a more peaceful and decent way to go about it.

We have been building WhatsApp integration for Shopify for the last 5 years due to a Trademark notice from Meta or its representative, Shopify requires us not use “WhatsApp” even as a description of our app.The whole Shopify App is built for WhatsApp. @tobi @ShopifyDevs @harleyf
