> But a ton of stuff is blocked just because Apple wants to block it
I am avoiding to release anything on iOS (even that my customers would love it) because Apple can shut me down anytime they feel like. Can I sideload like on MacOS or Android? Nope. Can I recompile my app into PWA with decent WebBLE support? Nope, because every browser is reskinned Safari with a poor PWA support. So the moment when they decide to shut me down, all the effort to create iOS application will be thrown out of the window.

- _ph_ 3y agoIs this based on any assertions or just how they feel? While the overall ration might not be terribly high, one can read again and again about cases where Apple did reject apps or app updates out of the blue. Some got resolved later on, others not. A common theme is, that you don't really have a direct point of contact, you can only send appeals to Apple. And when they decide to block you, you are done. There is no alternative. I wonder why lawmakers have not dealt with this topic yet, but alternative app stores would go quite a way of reducing the problem.
