Oddbean new post about login | logout Apple’s going to allow sideloading of apps on to iOS but with lots of limitations. The app developer has to be in the EU, the user has to be in the EU, they’ve got to have been an apple app developer for over 2 years, and to have over a million installs of your app. Plus a ton of other requirements…. This is the definition of malicious compliance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malicious_compliance https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/12/24098334/apple-ios-web-distribution-eu-app-store-changes
It is indeed. They really are acting childish... It's increasingly clear that Apple just looks after Apple's interests.
Always has been 👨🚀🔫👩🚀
I don't see it as childish. I see their ban of epic as childish. This I see as them being on their high horse as always. Treating everything not apple as trash and criminals
It's childish because they are "complying" with EU rules but in such a way that they are risking to anger the EU regulators, and therefore be investigated more and more. The most intelligent way to act would be to get on well with the regulators, even if they don't agree with the imposed rules, as they have more to lose than to win. Imho.
fact is you can decline to buy an apple and get a more friendly platfrom like android
Yes. But what you can't do is tell your users what to buy. This malicious complies does not harm the user (directly) but developers.
that's why developers need to stop wasting their time on a platform that fucks them that's why i never even owned an apple, from a very long time ago, because i am a developer, not a user, their platform has been dev hostile since the end of the line of Apple 2 and that's how long i've been in this they will become more friendly to developers when they run out of developers, because they basically don't want you to work on their platform, unless they like you for whatever arbitrary reason it's not a protocol, it's not a system, it's a product, and a corporation, and you don't get to build stuff for them unless you are effectively an unpaid employee fuck. that.
@GrapheneOS fixes this
Fuck Apple, Android >>>>>>>
My department has a fleet of about 1000 iOS managed devices. I’m honestly happy not to deal with side-loading. It’s one of the reasons we’re still only on iOS.
Just stop using iPhone and start using Android phones god damn it. nostr:nevent1qqs8dl5xlce67ngkn64y2j399q3ehfk0zq92twsnwnfnkk8scxa00lspr9mhxue69uhkymmnw3ezumr9vd682unfveujumn9wspzqak8r2hr5jglrk0wc37t59lz98x6gyf6pwaku6hpwakhvslznjh6qvzqqqqqqy2d3y37
*AOSP No google spyware
I knew it. 😂😂
Did anyone actually expect Apple to welcome sideloading with open arms, and a smile?
Prior to 2018, it was permitted by every developer with an Enterprise License which was $399. This is simply a power grab since they have had the tech and never was an issue of security prior. The fact there is a double standard now is a failure of our antitrust legislation.
