Because the store gets spammed by million of bot applications ? Having a small fee for store review is probably a decent noise floor.
You can still develop apps on your devices without a dev license - the week long cert is annoying, they probably want to avoid people side-loading via this mechanism (which I am against FWIW).
But you can develop on your devices without paying 100$/year

Also, then why are they charging the fee if you use someone else's store? > the week long cert is annoying, they probably want to avoid people side-loading via this mechanism It seems like you understand their underlying motives, so then why are you defending them?
- matsemann 1y agoBut this isn't about the store. It's about being able to install apps even without going through the store.
- jeena 1y agoI'm not talking about putting the App into the Store, just installing it on my phone.
