That's all very understandable. I also would hate to maintain multiple app stores But with side-loading, all you would need is the website you likely already have. You could offer direct downloads. No need to integrate IAPs with different API calls. Just use Stripe or Paypal everywhere. Things could be a lot simpler. The sole idea of an app store adds unnecessary friction. When we're talking a 1 and mandatory app store, then this friction is clearly there for a purpose, and it feels so wrong. I soo dislike being told what I can and cannot say in MY app. All in the name of "protection" /s >>When there’s a opportunity for innovation that is not possible on iOS because of this, it will happen on Android. Devs don't bother doing things that can't be cross-platform these days. I definitely don't want my users to tell each other "you need to have an android phone for this app".
