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
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.
He probably wouldn’t. Even if he hadn’t died of sheer pig headed stubbornness.
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.
