I suppose it is a catch 22 because there are plenty of apps/businesses out there that would not be able to exist were it not for the apple ecosystem.
Usually demonstrated by the fact that for their specific functionality, they require a native app, and their identical Android application makes almost no money compared to the iOS app.
Not saying all apps are like that. But there are quite a few that for whatever reason, only make money on iOS.
- close04 7y ago> there are plenty of apps/businesses out there that would not be able to exist were it not for the apple ecosystem That's not a catch-22. A catch-22 [0] is when you have contradictory requirements that are all needed but eliminate each other [Wiki example: How can I get any experience until I get a job that gives me experience?]. A hard choice or a single choice aren't a catch-22. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch-22_(logic) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch-22_(logic)
