I'm an iOS developer as well. Never had issues getting app onboards there, and believe me, some apps did not even deserve to get there.

Quit playing the victim card, Apple does not owe you shit. Switch to Android and smile. After all, you're a pragmatic developer.

Jeez, promoting apps my ass - they were extorting people for sending out spam via push notifications.



If you think Android is any better in this regard, you've missed the point. Maybe we should have just sat back and smiled when 100+ corporations and the US gov worked together to draft SOPA. After all, GoDaddy does not owe me shit.

I'm not concerned with their shady business practices. It takes 5 seconds to uninstall an app, I do it all the time.


Your politicians owe you shit. Your argument is moot.

No I get your point, you want the Appstore to allow you to conduct questionable business. Good call there.


There was plenty of resistance to corporate power in response to SOPA. And it was absolutely justified.

Right, because selling virtual Smurf Gold Coins is totally legit but charging developers for access to a marketing funnel is evil. Give me a break.


The game provides visual entertainment and doesn't extort people. You pay for a game.


I must have missed something. Who the hell was getting extorted by AppGratis?
