This, right here, is why I abandoned the Apple ecosystem. When a company has the kind of control that Apple has with the app store, they will inevitably abuse it.
- MBCook 11y agoThis is no different from Microsoft saying "you can't release a program that calls internal NTFS methods in our app store". Seems fair. This isn't like Apple saying "No one can make lottery apps", they C&Ded someone to stop using private APIs and bypassing the app store.
- sirkneeland 11y agoIt's a bit different because (outside of irrelevant Windows Phone and dead Windows RT) the MS app store is optional, just one of many mainstream, widely accepted ways of installing software. Whereas with iOS, if Apple says no App Store for you it means no access to the iOS customer base.

- icebraining 11y agoYou mean Microsoft, the company that was convicted for using private APIs all for themselves, and was forced to open them up? Good comparison.
