@dalias @Aaron @cabel IMO the fundamental problem is that Apple sees App Store review as a cost center first and foremost, a way to gatekeep undesirable apps from reaching users second, and a developer gateway a distant third.
If developer satisfaction were important, Apple would brag about its “DevSat” as well as its “Customer Sat” figures.
@drahardja @dalias @cabel YES! THAT!
Meanwhile without devs, the iOS ecosystem would be down to stock apps and trash from get-rich-quick schemes. That 30% cut would dry up real quick.
I love Apple, but god they have such a one-sided relationship with devs.
