There is no way to have a fair App Store where the organization approving your app is the same organization creating apps to compete with you.
This is a fundamental, existential problem with the App Store model.
You can't compete with Apple; they simply will not let you.

She used Amazon as the example but thinks the same about the App Store. As much as I agree with her, the problem with this has been, where do you draw the line between applications and system software? What can be included out of the box? This has constantly changed as companies like Apple vertically integrate the user experience.
- amiantos 5y agoSo... what are you saying? Apple shouldn't be allowed to improve the software for their own products? There should be a law that prevents Apple from building a keyboard for Apple Watch and consumers have to buy a third party keyboard made by a guy who still won't explain why the keyboard needed "network access OR VoiceOver to be turned on"? Seems fishy to me. I think I'd prefer the keyboard Apple makes.
