The comments in here (and the article title) make it sound like it’s just NPR involved. Important to note that it’s not NPR per-se, but a group including NPR.

Having better apps and a stronger ecosystem makes the platform better for everybody. As an indie dev* making a living from Apple Watch, I concur with the difficulty of having to debug these things. For example, some arbitrary resource limit

The two banks I’ve checked only allow you to use your mobile phone number or email address as your PayID (CBA and ING). When paying somebody, when you enter a recipient’s PayID, the bank confirms by showing the recipient account holder name

Same here, but 2x LG 5K monitors. 1. Stopped using clamshell mode (laptop lid closed) and that has helped. 2. Downloaded the LG firmware update for the monitors. Updated both monitors, also seems much more reliable. (10 day uptime, up from

My 2 cents: 1. Charge more than 99c. Double the price and your sales will likely drop by less than half, making it profitable to do so. 2. If you’re going to half-ass the port to Android, why even bother? It will do more damage than it’s wo

Apple only report to you the remaining 70%, so the 800k is after the 30% is deducted. Edit: It seems the $800k includes Apple's cut. As an app developer myself, even considering that amount is torturing yourself. Apple _only_ report th

It was an unsteady ship that could be righted with some well-known and publicised fixes. Instead they filled it with more water and blamed everybody but themselves.

If you want to be super paranoid about it, cell providers and banks know your whereabouts most of the time also. iOS at least gives you the option to deny apps access to the photo library, to prevent this from being available. Perhaps an ad

Maybe there needs to be an extra level of compliance for apps that are straight-up. (Like PCI compliance) Opt-in, but you get a special badge on your App Store listing.

Agreed about private companies and collecting of data, but in the case of Apple, none of your HealthKit data is transmitted (it's all stored on your iPhone and/or Apple Watch). Any app that reads/writes HealthKit data is requ

What do you think is a fair price, given what you get from Apple for that 30%? I'd be more than happy for it to be 0%, but you do get a few things for that cut: * Credit card processing * Handling refunds (you need to do this manually

That's all well and good - and many people realise and accept this - but the degree to which you're the product can clearly vary wildly. That's the real issue.

Inexcusable may be strong - but I wish I could find the thread I was referring to. Perhaps they were working on it for a long time, but they were actively defending their stance for years after many people were requesting this, and after ma
