      This was the biggest thing I was hoping we would gain from Epic’s suit against Apple. As an app developer, it absolutely sucks that I can’t develop my own apps for my own device without Apple’s approval.

      Agreed. This needs to be the expectation before Apple’s Vision platform launches as well. Imagine if apple tried to sell an expensive new Mac that can’t run anything but iPadOS. That’s basically what’s happening with the Vision Pro.

      They allow it on Mac because Mac predates the locked down experience they created on the iPhone. I’m sure Apple love having it so that you can only install Mac apps from the app store, but users have been able to install their own software for 30 years and know it would be bad if they took that away.

      Fuck that.

      All I need is some tracking app that’s required by my company for communication, harvesting intel off my phone. I try to keep it lean and curated - I don’t need some wild-west version of the app store where there’s no boundaries.

      You want all that? Go Android.
