At least in the OP, it looks more like disgruntled responses to the 'standard' Apple policy of
1) make iOS/inhouse app changes
2) throw every competing app under the bus.
It is a well established history that says to developers "if you have an app that fills a need iOS hasn't addressed, your days are numbered, good luck when somebody at Apple writes the mvp of your app themselves".
Not hard to imagine an App Store future that is just corporate portals and games, with everything else covered by Apple thus off limits.
- kristianc 8y agoSo by that logic WhatsApp, Fantastical, VSCO, Camera+, Halide, Google Photos, Evernote, Bear Notes, Google Maps, Spotify should all be worried then? No because these apps don't abuse undocumented APIs or look for loopholes in Apple's review guidelines.
- saagarjha 8y ago> these apps don't abuse undocumented APIs or look for loopholes in Apple's review guidelines Many of these apps do exactly this.
- joshstrange 8y agoWould you like to back up that statement with some facts? I know Uber has been smacked before for using private API’s before. Maybe not as hard as a no-name developer would have been but the uncomfortable truth is not all app developers are equal and honestly I understand the reasons for that.
