This is BS. You want to develop software as a hobby and release it for your friends or family to try out? Apple has made this difficult already and this is going to make it even worse.

What's the point? What does Apple gain by removing low-volume apps?

Claude Fable 5. Prompt: "Create a Nintendo 3DS game using Swift. I have the Azahar emulator installed, run it with that.". I ran this in an empty directory. This is what I got.

This was a light WWDC, but it sounds like a busy year for Apple. I wonder how many of those old issue cleanups are the result of giving coding agents a Radar MCP.

Apple seems fairly meticulous about documenting problems and there are so many issues that have had repro projects submitted over the years and not been acted upon.

I'm just speculating but it seems like a perfect problem to throw Claude Code at.

A thing I've long wanted from Apple is a cross-platform UI toolkit (not just cross Apple's devices). Acknowledge that the native-only strategy is out of date, and make the best of it.

They are already building cross-platform software. Pages, Keynote and Numbers are on the web. Apple Music and Apple TV are everywhere. Formalize it, and share it with the rest of us.

@sconient I did.

That's the pattern in the whole article: It's terrible. But maybe not terrible. It's useful sometimes, but not worth the cost.

So what's he asking Apple to do?"Consider the rest of us". What does that even mean?

The only place where I agree with him would be on Apple aggressively pushing something like Image Playgrounds, and we don't need more of that.
