People have no idea how Apple operates of anyone actually thinks this is going to be a good thing.<br><br>Oh, you want camera access? Sorry, only trusted apps can do that<br>Location services? Aren't available to apps without App Store certificate<br>Sorry bud, can't write to the photo library from an unverified app<br>APNS? Forget it. Why should they provide you access to their service if they're not getting paid for it?<br><br>People also completely dismiss security as an "apple buzzword" while code injection frameworks exist. There's no way for you to know that the alt store you're using or the ipa file you're sideloading doesn't have Frida payload stealing your data.<br><br>I also guaran-goddamn-tee you, the CCP is already working on an alt-store that is totally not affiliated with the CCP and is definitely not modifying apps to forward every HTTP request to a totally not spy server.<br><br>This is bad for all sides on multiple levels, "apple 30% is an absolute bad freedom to install shit is absolute good" is an incredibly smooth-brained one-sided take <br><br>I'm an app developer, I don't like paying the Apple fee, but I'm not delusional about why it's there. Things Apple prodives developers with (SDKs, reach, infrastructure, discovery engine, etc. etc) are well worth the 30%
