Notarization has been a massive win for iOS and macOS. If your app store distributes malware, it deserves to get banned.

So should Apple’s own app store be banned?

Notarization has added nothing but another mandatory fee to develop for Apple's platforms. Your app can also get banned if it doesn't distribute malware. It will be abused as means of censorship (porn, drugs, gambling, etc.) https://www.macrumors.com/2020/08/31/apple-repeatedly-approved-malware-for-mac/ https://www.macrumors.com/2020/08/31/apple-repeatedly-approv... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29569561 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29569561

By that logic, the Apple-provided App Store should also [0] be [1] banned [2].

You can't run any sort of marketplace in any sort of industry without bad actors slipping through every once and again.

  Yeah but why are we doing "the trial" (of Kafka) already? Where is it written that they will take away their license if one app doesn't pass? I see a lot of negativity. Some of it is justified, some it's not. I see only good things: finally after this, other countries will move ASAP to do something similar. EU gave Apple a vague and open legislation. Apple's response was "okayish" and acceptable up to a certain point. Let's see what happens in the next 5 years.
