Patreon: adding Apple’s 30 percent tax is the price of staying in the App Store - programming.dev

Apple and Google stores are classic rent seeker behavior.

Deny them profit.

You don’t have to use the Google store though.

Apple forces you to the their app store, and they have a huge list of requirements they impose on apps to which really dicks around developers

Not only do they force you to use the App Store, developing an app for iOS is a nightmare. Without special tools you must have a mac and a $100/yr apple developer license.

After having to deal with that shit at my old place of work I’ve moved to never touch app development again.

Yep. Totally agree.

I only ended up with a Mac because edge kept hijacking my chrome tabs every reboot

But, it costs far more than a PC, and honestly, the hardware capabilities are worse

At least the M3 chips I think now have ray tracing. But still no nested VT so I can’t even run the windows android emulator in parallels
