We have a real problem with app stores.
The thing is. I like apps needing to display and even better request permissions for resources like the camera, files and clipboard.
But that should be the limit. What I don’t want is somebody, anybody other than my self deciding if an application actually needs those permission.
WE need an alternative to walled garden app stores. It can be fine that a curated store exist that does these things. But they need to live side by side with stores or catalogs that do less and more.
It’s an uphill battle because Apple and Google both know that it will be a loss of revenue for them. What is silly though is they could make the App Store have sub app stores curated by different entities (or not at all) and solve all this and keep revenue. But they won’t.
