As you well know, upon upload for App Store submission, Apple runs processes that scan those binaries for use of private APIs. Admittedly imperfect processes, yes, but different from having no processes whatsoever.
- mikeash 11y agoI get why Apple does it, but this prohibition increases my device's suck rather than decreasing it, since it locks out some potentially-useful apps.
- natch 11y agoYes they are balancing the cost/benefit equation of the untold levels of damage to consumers and to Apple itself potentially done by bad apps on one side, versus the relatively less impactful in their judgement benefits of potentially useful apps on the other side. The assessment that this increases the device's suck relies on an certain assumptions about just how bad the damages could possibly be, assumptions that you make, but that they are reluctant to make on behalf of their users.
