The app store is full of low effort apps, and the 99$ entry fee really doesn't matter.
I think it still is a "Apple greedy". If I were to operate a personal fleet of devices, I wouldn't be able to build my own software once and run it on the fleet. I'd have to build it everywhere. If Microsoft were to do the same thing, people certainly wouldn't be trying to rationalize it as anything else but the money grab that it is.
- machello13 6y ago> The app store is full of low effort apps If you notice, I actually mentioned this in my comment. I think it would be much worse. $99 isn't enough to stop everyone from making crappy apps, but it's definitely enough to stop a lot. Think of every low-effort app made by some 12 year old who discovered Xcode for the first time. > If I were to operate a personal fleet of devices, I wouldn't be able to build my own software once and run it on the fleet. I'd have to build it everywhere. I don't understand what this means. If I understand you correctly, then no, you can definitely deploy internal apps to Apple devices without putting it on the App Store.
- eptcyka 6y agoIf I can deploy internal apps to Apple devices without getting them notarized, then open source devs can distribute their apps to their users without them being notarized too, no? What is the measurable difference here? Obviously, open source apps still work today, but they won't soon. macOS will become a lot more like iOS soon.
