I think seldo's comment above captures it. What you said is true, but you also can't force Apple to give you a development environment for their device and let you sell apps in their private store. They have offered to do so anyway, so long as you keep it to yourself. I would bet that many SDKs for closed devices (e.g. game consoles) are under similar restrictions. Can anyone comment on that?
- pyre 17y agoTo be the devil's advocate, most game console SDKs are sold at a much higher price therefore setting the barrier to entry much higher. Apple iPhone SDK = $99 Sony PS3 SDK = $10,250 [1] One could argue that $99 is affordable by most anyone. $10K? No so much.
