The fee isn't unreasonable. The things they block off is. Until Apple lets me install an IPA file as easily as something from the App Store, I will mercilessly mock them for extorting the very developers that make them rich. The closing noose is why I left MacOS, and the reason why I could never daily-drive iOS. It's dumb, and anti-consumer.
I'll happily answer any further questions, but I'm afraid my opinion isn't as interesting as you think it is.
- scarface74 4y agoWhat does any of this have to do with Mac development? Anyone can already install anything on the Mac even if it is unsigned by right clicking.
- smoldesu 4y agoI'm replying to the parent, who was talking about selling and distributing iPhone apps. Moreover, this discussion started with me highlighting which things should be in the subscription (CI/CD time, VPSes, direct support) versus things that shouldn't be in it (freely managing arbitrary software). Conflating the iPhone's capabilities with the developer program is Apple's fault, not mine.
