Ahh yes the “My ideas are so good that Apple will steal them so they aren’t worth doing”-argument.
I find this argument to be completely unrealistic. It’s like the people that want you to sign an NDA to talk about their idea.
Ideas are worth nothing, execution is everything. Yes, Apple might sherlock you but Apple has never and will never serve all the use cases people want (and that’s ok!). They often cover the 80% use-case which leaves room for third party apps to serve the power/niche users while Apple raises the bar for the category.
I use a ton of third party apps (and pay for them) that Apple has their own versions of because they cover my needs better than the stock apps. Drafts, Carrot, Things, CleanShotX (desktop), Annotatable, and the list goes on.
Just say you aren’t interested in mobile development, you aren’t good at it, or that you find it uninteresting. Don’t hide behind “Apple will steal my idea”.
