I will say it again. The one thing Apple will try to defend is the concept of an app/container. I wrote a similar comment supporting their actions with video game streaming platforms the other day[1]. Any app that creates some kind of a wedge into another kind of app/container ecosystem is not going to fly. I do believe this will get solved by having a store within a store model. It just means all the packages/apps that are run from within the other platform will need to have some kind of listing/metadata shared and controllable in some fashion by Apple. The interesting thing will be the relationship with devs. Does Apple need to have a direct one or not?

- enos_feedler 6y agoI don't think other Chinese companies would get away with it, but WeChat yes. It isn't really a China thing. It's a platform power balance thing. Do you think Apple wants to give WeChat that wedge/leak? It is an obvious special circumstance given the market circumstances. As I said before, I think store within a store is coming it's just not ready yet. You can be sure whatever Apple comes up with will fit the needs of WeChat and they will be coerced into using it.
