On the first read this seemed like a conclusion of the story, but on a second read it sounds like this is another chess move. 1.0.2 was approved (to Hey's surprise, and likely just to ease some PR/legal pressure), but 1.0.3 is still pending. Hey's approach here seems a bit like lawyering the rules to me -- I could see how temporary email addresses can be useful, but the feature seems to mainly exist to appease Apple rather than users. I hope it works for them, but I'm not holding my breath.
- elicash 6y agoI agree it's a chess move. But it's also a way for both sides claim victory. Apple doesn't want to change its rules; Hey doesn't want to change how users sign up. I guess I'm saying I'm more optimistic this will settle the dispute. But I agree, the feature is more aimed at Apple than users.
- scarface74 6y agoIf someone sends me a PowerPoint slide in an email and then I go to the App Store to download PowerPoint to view it, it would be a horrible user experience if I couldn’t do anything with the app before paying for it. On the other hand, I can still view the slides without paying MS, but I have to have a subscription to edit it. I can’t pay for the subscription within the app. I think that’s a decent compromise.
