Perhaps continuing to develop an app on Apple's platforms is asking for more, but a couple of items of consideration for perspective:
1. In my opinion, over the last 10 years, Apple's behaviour has gotten a lot worse as they strive for continual profit growth – with services being their only answer and tightening the screws on developers via the App Store their chosen solution.
2. Having used Apple as my primary computing platforms for almost 40 years (yes I'm old), and developing on it for many of those years, it can be hard to walk away to another ecosystem. For many users & developers, the knowledge etc is a sunk cost that can be hard to overcome.
The article was written both as a way to vent and also to hopefully shine further light on the issues in the hope that it could add to the impetus for change.
What would you think would be a solution in this situation?
