It is not possible to run software on iOS, an Apple software product, without running Apple’s developer tools. Are you thinking Spotify wants to opt out and build its own software stack for iPhone from kernel and baseband up?
- EMIRELADERO 3y agoIt's fully possible, much like it's possible to compile Windows programs/libraries on Linux today.
- shuckles 3y agoIt’s possible to run Spotify on Android but that has nothing to do with running it on iPhone.
- EMIRELADERO 3y agoI think you missed the argument. Since it's technically possible to compile an iOS app that uses iOS APIs without using Apple's developer tools, Apple would not have a claim that the developers "used their IP" in that situation. Calling APIs is not an exclusive IP right.
