Nice snide remarks, except you forgot, browsers run on phones.

  I’m so sorry I completely overlooked that. Maybe one day we’ll be able to install apps on phones too!

    Continuing to avoid the subject of the thread. excellent argument! So your solution seems to be Unix tools on the desktop and cluttering your smartphone with 1000 apps. Both sets of software being incompatible with each other platform. Yeah, not quite what I was looking for.

      Well iOS apps run on Arm Macs. Even before that, there were Catalyst based apps. So, yes. > You know the whole reason I brought up the browser. No I really don't. > So your solution seems to be Unix tools on the desktop and cluttering your smartphone with 1000 apps. Nice editing of the previous comment to have completely different content. I gave you two different suggestions: unix tools, that will work anywhere you can get a POSIX shell; or an example of what the built-in GUI tools can do on one platform.

          > I forgot everyone owns and is willing to own a Mac. You didn't specify a platform, you just asked if something is possible in the future. I said its possible now. If your chosen platform vendor doesn't want to support that use-case, that's their and your issue, not mine.

            >You didn't specify a platform The browser is a platform. A big fact you seem to be missing.

              If you say so. The existence of this thread seems to indicate it's either a very poor excuse for a "platform" or you're using a very loose definition of "platform".

                >Using a thread on a programming forum as evidence of a platforms relevance or definition. Again, great argument.
