Billions of people install apps without the Mac or developer account.
This devloper-centric view is why we cannot have nice things. Stop for once thinking how to make life easier for the developer, start to think about the end users.
- geofft 9y agoI am thinking about the end users. I am thinking that they should not be held hostage to the tiny number of app developers out there. If an end user has a problem with their app today, they don't have any choice but to throw themselves on the mercy of the developer, or upon the vain hope that other developers will come up with a competing app. If they have a problem with a PWA, they, or more likely their friend or their friend's kid in middle school who's learning HTML, can fix it. Saying "Your app comes in a compiled and encrypted format, it's illegal to decompile it, and anyone making a competing app needs a Mac and $99" is the way to make life easier for the developer.
