    They broke my fucking balls for trivial reasons during approval process. However, it seems like you get a free pass and a feature if you are the creator of a spyware with a trademarked name. Truly genius at work.

      Probably, because they already use some dysfunctional AI to screen.

    And that’s why there are literally no good apps in the app store. Devs are forced to make it hypercapitalistic. To get a simple apple app running and out, it’s multiple thousands of investments.
    For Android it’s one command to install android studio on any device, load a template, program, compile, sideload and you’re done. Put it on git as GPLv2/3 for good measure.

        … that aren’t filled with ads and/or have a large price tag. Especially compared to the huge FOSS App collection Android has. And it’s not like I could just be like “oh damnit then I’m just gonna use the terminal for doing task XY” - unless I jailbreak. Which Apple doesn’t want, of course.
