« Développer will have freedom » yet they are entitled to Google’s verification.

It’s just another stone in the grave of Android and even though I shipped off this sinking ship 6 years ago to iOS, this is still concerning because ultimately apple’s IOS is in competition solely with Android.

If Android gets so bad it has all the disadvantage of iOS, some more, for instance with the embedded spyware that manufacturer are paid to include, and none of the good side of iOS, then everyone lose. Apple doesn’t have to compete anymore, they just have to not suck.

Can you even compile an iOS app without registering with apple?

Is it really different from what Google is doing ? Not being to compile or user not being to install have the very same consequence : your app can’t be used.
