Nope. Says it’s not supported when I try to install it. It doesn’t give a reason though. It’s a maxed out Intel unit from 2018, it’s not listed as a supported model for Ventura. When I get home I can get the model number.
I removed Caffeine from the App Store when Apple started complaining that a click on a menu bar icon for an app without a dock icon must always show a menu (offering a Quit option). I wanted it to toggle the active state instead and show the menu on right-click/cmd-click.
Did you just not feel like arguing with the app store review team or was it a clear decision between changing it or leaving the app store? The author of amphetamine told that there was a similar problem but apparently he could settle this.
> Amphetamine updates have been rejected by Apple on numerous occasions. One time, Apple’s App Review Team did not like my “Preview” screen shots. Another time, Apple objected to the default behavior when clicking Amphetamine’s menu bar icon, saying it must open the menu by default and not start a session.

Good for you! That is exactly what everyone needs do when Apple starts being pointlessly petty. Yes, operating systems have UI guidelines. But they are guidelines - sometimes a developer may come up with something better, especially for power users, and no such developer should have to waste time trying to communicate and convince some committee of this, and worse, wait for an approval from them to launch the product.
In my opinion they made the right choice here -- that is a much different behaviour than any other kind of menu bar icon has and it would be inconsistent with every other app and the OS itself.
It's a neat idea but that is just not the use case the menu bar was designed around and I don't think it makes sense for individual apps to go against the current in that way
Depreciated is not removed. Apple is usually very conscientious about depreciating things, then waiting a while before removing them. In some cases they have gone to great lengths... for example the now 5 year depreciation of OpenSSL: first they marked it depreciated, which generates a compiler warning, then after a few years they removed the headers from the MacOS SDK so you couldn't compile new software but left the binary in place so that old software would continue to work. The next step will probably be to remove that binary, something I would expect in MacOS 10.13 (sometime this year) or 10.14 (presumably next year).
Poor choice of words then, it was deprecated and removed over the course of iOS 9 betas, with the plan to make a new system only available to "captive network apps" that could declare a specific list of SSIDs that they manage. Appears they backtracked though? I didn't see any recent info.
