Nope. Which is exactly why the software world works. You can invest some time in better understanding it rather than a make software great again approach noone is asking for.
No, I’m saying the law is broken. It doesn’t protect consumers and it being used to give developers permission to sell any crap they want with no oversight or accountability.
Again with the purchasing. It’s a licensing model. Folks don’t buy the rights to your software.
I’m asking for it. Many people are. There is a who industry dedicated to fixing and explaining how to fix broken software.
A claim made by developers that no one agrees isnt morally right. But you want to license it, fine. Make sure it works first.
As in the law, in general doesn’t work. It’s broken in how it’s phrased not by an Indivuals actions.
Stay on topic. Apple is giving developers a chance to decide where they want their products marketed. Don’t like it? Free market, go elsewhere.
Lol, you stay on topic. The issue is that developers have to much say in how their software is used. They need to be dialed back and held accountable.
No idea about law or software.
Can’t point to a law that’s broken = no law broken. Sail on.
That's just plain wrong; and it's easy to prove…
If I write a small program to handle/move my backups of apps etc, have I then broken the law if my program isn't explicitly mentioned in Apple documentation or the app developers' help section?!
(If you are going to try to say yes to that I expect a source; and do expect me to counter with actual laws.)
The topic is they decide which platform they work on. Just like others decide where their goods are sold. Nothing wrong with that.
A broken law isn’t the same thing as breaking a law. The former is when the law doesn’t do what it was intended to do.
Except for the part where they have the right to make such demands.
No that’s how free markets operate. You should visit one, it’s quite educational.
It’s the natural derivative. Being able to use software as we wish was broken by Apple. Some claimed developers don’t want it run on macs, but they should have no right to prevent it. The claim is have a right to do so, and yet they are not being held accountable for making it work on any platform.
So everyone (every hater) that is a fierce defender of developers when it comes to App Store and subscriptions, the moment they can’t use their pirated apps anymore they curiously forget their love of devs and start taking on Apple because it is enforcing developers wishes and rights. Sad but hilarious.
Of course it is. You may not understand how it works but that’s a different story. And on the Mac you don’t even need to be in the App Store in order to create software.
Yes of course they should. Random software that others make on anything you like? Thank god we are not entitled here...
Just make your own.
