Apple Isn’t Serious About Level Playing Fields for Developers ➝

Craig Grannell:

However, that UTM is now allowed but iDOS is not is indefensible. They’re both PC emulators. Apple has been inconsistent in the past with App Store rules and approvals, but this pairing is especially stark and egregious. At this point, I wouldn’t spend a single second developing an emulator for iOS. Which is probably how Apple wants it anyway. If I were the iDOS developer, I’d lob the app at AltStore and see what happens. Or, you know, just give up, like so many other ex-iOS devs I hear from these days have already done.

The App Store artificially limits the capabilities of our devices and prevents developers from even exploring entire categories of applications.

Imagine what our devices would be capable of if things were different — if you could install software on them like a computer. Rather than Apple leaning into the idea that they aren’t.
