Well the reason why you are having to use a web browser rather than sharing the app written using native APIs is because Apple forces you to use the App Store, so you yes did matter what Apple does. They prevent you from using the native toolkit and your use of the browser is partly a workaround for that
EDIT also Apple are in full control of what functionality they expose in their web APIs so even then it matters hugely
- InsideOutSanta 1y ago> Well the reason why you are having to use a web browser I don't have to use a web browser; I want to use a web browser. I'm not in the US, so almost nobody I know uses an iPhone, and I could easily send them APKs, but why go through the trouble?
- bowsamic 1y agoI mean that’s fine but then you can’t use a huge number of system APIs so it is actually a problem if you want to write software that uses your phones features. It is not okay just because iPhones or androids have a web browser. It’s insane to me that you’re even trying to argue that it’s not a problem that Apple do not let you write native software for iOS for free Also iPhone is not just a US thing. I’m in Germany and iPhone is very popular here too
- InsideOutSanta 1y ago>It’s insane to me that you’re even trying to argue I'm not arguing with you. You're arguing with me, and I'm not sure why. I don't give a shit about Apple. I'm not defending them, I don't care. What's insane to me is that on the Internet, people constantly try to pick fights.
- bowsamic 1y agoWell you don’t get to not care, that’s not allowed
- InsideOutSanta 1y agoThat will not stand! Have your people contact my people so they can arrange a duel between us.
- bowsamic 1y agoWould if I could.
