The best part is when the developers then close & lock your new issues as duplicates. No discussion allowed, I guess.

They're just awful. I tend to abandon projects that wind up closing issues on me using bots, it's infuriating.

Of course not, the government is free to pass whatever laws regulating whatever kind of content is allowed, as they should and have been doing. What is your point again?

Do you also think you should be able to freely share child pornography on HN as part of your free speech? Or is that not how it works at all?

It's Apple. You are of course welcome to pay their exorbitant development fees yourself, go through the insane review process and publish your own competing app!

Yes. Then you realize that people may still SSH into your servers and manually tweak things when they need the fix "now". So then you start restricting SSH access and forcing everything through Ansible. And now you're deep in

First facebook tries to take down the entire internet with their bgp spam, and now this?

Not really. Much like a bridge operates autonomously, so does a server.

by oauea 5y ago
Yeah, I don't think I'm going to be able to explain all that to my users. Some of them don't even have a computer.

How? There must be some restrictions or this would be HUGE news and Epic would rejoice. edit: the apps expire after 1 week and need to be constantly reinstalled. This is abusing an exploit in apple's walled garden that will surely be &

No, that lets the sellers contact apple who may or may not choose to forward the message to me. I want the sellers to contact me, since I'm doing business with them. What happens when apples proxy server goes down, or they start chargi

So you'd really rather hide behind Apple's goodwill instead of simply having the government regulate things, as they're already doing? Simply contact the relevant watchdog in your country.

Exactly, everything else you listed about Apple's behavior is also anticompetitive and will hopefully be addressed in the future. But lets start with payments.
259.
by oauea 5y ago
That is already illegal. Report the companies. Apple has absolutely nothing to do with this.

by oauea 5y ago
I want sellers to be able to reach me when I buy from them. If something goes wrong, or something happens, it is absolutely essential that they are able to contact me .

Some random app store reviewer fella. Not sure if you've ever been on the phone with them, but it does not inspire confidence at all.
262.
by oauea 5y ago
Sounds like your country happens to have a particularly poor implementation of a national payment system, which has biased you into thinking Apple is somehow the only company on earth who is able to make a decent payment system. Unfortunate
263.
by oauea 5y ago
Nah, I think being forced to implement it within 3 months is hostile. I think Apple refusing to send announcements through the mail is hostile. Apps are just a single frontend to a larger system, and Apple thinks they can dictate the workin

The sad truth is you're at the whims of some random app store reviewer and it depends completely on their mood of the day. It's honestly insane and impossible to work with. One day everything is fine, the next they have a list of

Just allow sideloading. It's not hard to not block that. But apple is hell-bent on collecting every cent they can, so of course all app installations must go through their walled garden where they can take their 30%. Anti-consumer beha

Because apple applies one set of policies to you and me, and another set of policies to the bigcorps. See the leaked messages from the epic lawsuit where apple execs talk about netflix's iap cut.

Not sure what you're talking about. I've been extremely happy with the dutch national payment system ideal for over a decade. I will refuse to use anything else, it is what everything and everyone in my country uses, and it works
268.
by oauea 5y ago
Yet another developer-hostile apple policy. Amazing. You have to be crazy to stake your company on apple's goodwill at this point.
269.
by oauea 5y ago
Most of the Dutch banks have their own payment apps that work with NFC and traditional pin machines.

by oauea 5y ago
Fully agree. The monopoly that is apple payments needs to be stopped. It's kind of shocking how many apple fanboys there are on HN that see nothing wrong with this.
