This three class developer system on iOS is ridiculous.
There's the normal developer who can do little more on iOS that you couldn't also do with a web app.
There's the "blessed" developer with special entitlements that lets them violate the privacy of their users in new and fun ways and also provide features nobody else can so the normal developers can't compete with their app.
And then there's Apple and for their apps, the restrictions everyone else has to deal with are little more than suggestions. Wouldn't want third party apps to compete with Apple's on their own platform.
If there's a legitimate use for these entitlements, everyone should be able to use them. And the ultimate choice for what an App should and shouldn't be able to do should be in the users' hands.
But Apple needs to protect their shareholders from this horrid vision of the future.
