They also don't provide a view controller or something you can present to display the warning as they do with other things like this, you have to build the view yourself according to their silly specs... Phil Schiller needs to go.
- sircastor 5y agoHasn’t Phil Schiller gone already? I think Greg Joswiak is the VP in charge of the store now.
- jamil7 5y agoOh you might right, I thought he was still there.
- bogwog 5y agoReplacing execs won’t solve this. Even if you put someone in place that isn’t an asshole, they’re still accountable to Apple shareholders and need to act in the interests of the company. If they don’t, they’ll just be fired (or maybe even sued for violating their fiduciary duties or something like that) Stuff like this is in the interests of the company. The only way to prevent it is for regulators to make it no longer in their best interests.
- JimDabell 5y agoThat’s totally reasonable. A new view controller would require a new version of iOS to provide that view controller, which would lock out all the people on older versions of iOS from the alternative payment methods. Any iOS developer can put together a screen like that in no time, it’s not a meaningful hurdle and it means more people can get the alternative payment method.
- jamil7 5y agoThat's true I forgot that it needs to work retroactively plus it's only in NL so it makes less sense to be available to everyone. Yes you can put it together quickly and no-doubt a package will appear on GitHub for those who don't want to but normally these things defer to an OS control.
