Maybe by then mac hardware won't be required to write ios apps? That's always felt rather monopolistic to me. It would be like MS refusing to deploy anything

Maybe by then mac hardware won't be required to write ios apps? That's always felt rather monopolistic to me. It would be like MS refusing to deploy anything that wasn't written on a surface, or google refusing gcp deployments from anything but a chrome book.
- mikestew 6y agoThat's always felt rather monopolistic to me. It always felt like a smaller company that didn't want to support multiple operating systems. But Apple's not all that small anymore, right? Well, the fallback to that argument is the long-standing habit of pretending other systems don't exist (Mac vs. PC commmercials notwithstanding). Best I recall, one will rarely (if ever) hear Apple comparing, say, iOS to Android. Nope, it's just "iOS is awesome, and here's why". Given that, why port your dev tools to a system that you'd rather pretend didn't exist in the first place?
