It's easy enough to get into the App Store, and I suspect with the new number of applications they get every day, they can't manually monitor each one.

- Sidetalker 6y agoIt allows them to keep the walled garden intact. A 3rd party app marketplace would need to install apps to the device and would require a different permissions model to anything available on the App Store today.
- swiley 6y agoThe easiest way in isn't even writting an app, just provide a dylib that solves a common problem, get it into an answer on a site like StackOverflow and you now can run whatever you want on plenty of devices. Remember Apple doesn't instrument the Apps when they review them, the closest they come to that is running everything through a proxy and looking for connections that are obviously malicious. This is one of the massive holes in the wall that Facebook often walks through.
