Absolutely right, aaaaand... it doesn't matter. People will do whatever is necessary to get their app in the user's hands. But Apple doesn't have Steve Jobs any

Absolutely right, aaaaand... it doesn't matter. People will do whatever is necessary to get their app in the user's hands. But Apple doesn't have Steve Jobs anymore and that matters a lot.
Anyhow, the question driving everything now is "Security?". How do you deliver non-dangerous software to innocent people? What is the (un)fashionably libertarian answer on this anyhow? Let them eat blackmail?
- splitstud 5y agoIt only matters if Apple doesn't care how many people develop for their platform. You say 'People will do whatever...'. Sure, some will. Some won't. Some have to. Would you want your platform to be skewed in any way towards those that 'have to'? The libertarian and bog standard answers agree in this case = you don't need to know how, we don't need you to be the decision maker.
