For anybody outside of the situation, this article may seem to explain everything. After all, the explanation seems reasonable, the retail-store metaphor is one that most people intuitively grasp. What's the big deal?
Well, the real issue is that Apple still does not pro-actively and directly address the problems that developers have with the app store. Fluffy interviews with Schiller don't cut it in my opinon.
I did actually have thoughts of making iPhone apps at one point. Now; there is no chance I'd ever make anything if it means dealing with a tight-arse bueracracy like that.
- potatolicious 17y agoAbsolutely - at the end of the day there are only two parties that can make the App Store successful - app users and app developers. Developers overwhelmingly have many misgivings about the way things are being done now, and a "there is nothing wrong, move along" interview with the head honcho at Apple is doing Apple zero favours. Even a "we understand some problems exist and we are looking into them" is a much, much better way to handle this than an outright denial that problems exist.
