Isn’t there already an open standard for this that Apple could simply adopt?

Edit: I could have sworn Matter was talking about including an airdrop-like service but I can’t find a link.

This goes deeper, it’s about devs getting access to pretty much any API that Apple only uses internally

This. They’re in a position of power where developers are beholden to what APIs they offer externally, so they can always give their offerings a leg up that no other service can compete with and if you engineer around their imposed limitations, then your app will never make it onto their App Store.

And lose one of the biggest and wealthy markets on the planet?

Doubt it.

But it would be nice though. If companies can not hold themselves to the law, they shouldn’t be part of our society. Some better company that does follow the law will fill in the market in no time.

Short of email or a messaging program nothing exists to be able to transfer files between an iOS and Android based phone. There are some third party utilities that say they can do it bit they’re all janky and well, 3rd party.
