Apple Disables Clearview AI's Developer Account After Violating Enterprise Certificate Rules

And mine doesn’t allow android due to security risks.
With an app developed with a "Developer License" and published on the App Store, the developer is absolutely free to promote their product and subscriptions anywhere. You must be confusing something here.
But that is totally irrelevant to ClearView, who is using an "Enterprise License" which explicitly is for distributing an app _within your enterprise_ and nowhere else. Walmart can use an Enterprise License to create an app that they can distribute to all their 500,000+ employees without any review by Apple, without having to care about Apple's App Store guidelines, but _only_ to their employees. Same with ClearView. They were free to give the app to ClearView employees, but not to anyone else.

cmaier never said who he is working for, but if you follow his posts there are very few candidates. And none of them are small. The two most likely candidates are one 100 billion dollar company and another 20 billion dollar company.
Nope. The smart one. Just based on this particular example. If my company wants to deploy an app developed by some other company, they do not have to pay 30% tax. For a large company, it's huge savings. Besides, they do not need to jump through the hoops every time Apple comes up with new policy or restrictions. Also, enterprise software developers can benefit from using the same tools (Java) on all platforms (server, desktop, mobile) which is not the case if iOS is involved.
What 30% tax? Companies that have enterprise certificates can distribute their apps without boundaries.
Or one could upload an enterprise app to the App Store without charging a unit price.
And IOS unilaterally has better apps.
As I said, cheap company, probably distributing Samsung A10.

It's right in the MR article: "Apple issues enterprise certificates to large organizations to deploy select apps to their employees for internal use only". Also, what's wrong with A10? These phones are used only for work related activities. A10 may not have the best camera, it may not be the best gaming phone but why would the company want to pay for these unneeded features? It would be additional waste of money. How do you know iOS has better enterprise apps? Have you seen any? Don't confuse this with consumer facing app stores. If anything, the developers of enterprise apps may pay more attention to Android apps since enterprises probably prefer Android devices.
I agree, the sentence should be amended to: “with an enterprise certificate companies can internally distribute Apps to employees without boundaries within the license of the certificate.”
It’s my opinion iOS has better apps except for maybe some few exceptions than android.
Enterprises prefer android? Like the US army, nypd, etc. iPhone anecdotally seems to be pervasive in corporate America.
