A trillion dollar company demanding 30% cut of revenue of small developers, on top of annual developer fees and exorbitantly priced hardware with zero reparability and severe environmental impact isn't monetarily expensive enough for you? That isn't loyalty. It's stupid fanaticism that harms everyone else. And I don't want to even start about the petty part.
Don‘t forget the Core Technology Fee they will raise if you do wish to offer your app outside of the app store and you weren‘t qualified for the Apple Developer Enterprise program.
And don‘t forget that in order to be eligible for sideloading you have to have at least one million downloads on the App Store.
And don‘t forget that your app still has to go through the App Review process so you have exactly no additional freedom if you live in the european economical area.
I sure hope the EU keeps kicking Apples ass. I love iOS but i hate the lack of freedom.
Btw, does anyone know whether visionOS even supports sideloading in the EEA.
Are you violently agreeing with me?
I laugh everytime I see fanbois biting the bait even if it was a very mild uninspired bait. Makes it easy to tag moronic fanatics and identify them in the future.
