Another fine example of why I enjoy being in the orchard. I hope many developers make use of the Attest API.
How is preventing theft of intellectual property "overreaching"?

🤦♂️
Wrong. The $99 fee is not a "listing fee," and apps are not removed simply because a developer is no longer part of the program.
I know this is a bit off topic but a system that ensures integrity of game executables would cut down on cheaters in video games. If only Macs were suitable for gaming ...
I'm working on an App right now which uses cloud based AI predictions.
The work I'm doing is to allow these AI models to be loaded on to devices for offline usage.
The problem with this is that these models represent significant intellectual property (IP) which could be stolen from a jailbroken device.
My work stalled because we just couldn't find a strong and safe enough solution to be able to role this out confidently.
What you are seeing here is Apple acknowledging that for AI to progress on their devices there needs to be tighter security and to instil more confidence in developers to encourage them to develop apps like the one I'm working on.
CoreML at WWDC2020 got a new encryption feature which goes hand in hand with this.
So our way forward now is to wait for iOS14 and make it a mandatory requirement for this app feature.

You are correct, it is not a listing fee rather akin to a subscription fee, i.e. you're otherwise mistaken.

The original statement is a lose lose proposition... it will just be repeated blindly next year with iOS 15. One day the other person will be right and have the “I told ya” card.
That being said, thanks for the reminder... the iPhone 6S is a great step up from the 6. So much so that we still target it as a platform for the games the company makes.
It will ok Android- Idk how Spotify will stop it since their platform works exactly like YouTube in terms of serving ads
Yeah until you realize all the savings is compounded for the entire family... In fact lots of media can have a $0 price on it if you know how to get it
Apple likes to have a long arm Lets just keep packing in more security. Its basically a 'walk in the park'
You didn't understand I was being sarcastic. In reality, I'm all for that new feature.
