    App Store guidelines are too strict for developers, I think it will be better for mobile developer to develop their app for android ecosystem, not ios

      The problem with doing android dev work is that android users simply refuse to pay for useful apps. iOS users on the other hand are more open to it.

      As a developer it makes sense to prioritize iOS if you like money.

        Why pay for apps when you can just sideload pirated version from dubious origin and pay with your privacy and crypto mine for the pirate distributing it?

        Oh, wait, I just said the quiet part alt store advocates doesn’t want to say out loud.

        ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        That sounds like anecdotal evidence. Android is more popular in more than half of the world and a lot of apps are successful and generate income on both platforms.

      “Don’t be a scam” is the guideline being broken here.

      And the consistent quality and UX expectations are a part of why iOS developers make a lot more money.

        App Store is full of scams and predatory apps. And holy shit rofl at the “consistent quality.” Steve’s been dead for over a decade and his vision of iOS has been dead for longer.
