Apple doesn’t want you developing hobby apps
My honest question is: What&#x27;s the alternative.<p>I&#x27;m not an apple fan. Most of my personal devices run Linux, but I feel essentially trapped on an iPhone. It doesn&#x27;t seem like there&#x27;s a truly useful open phone out there. I don&#x27;t like Apple, and I don&#x27;t trust them or their ostensibly pro-privacy stance much, but I want as little privacy invasion and as little advertising as possible on my phone, and I think as bad as Apple is, they&#x27;re still better than a fully Googled version of Android. Unfortunately, a lot of people, myself included, need at least some apps that require either an iPhone or a fully Googled version of android.<p>I suppose there&#x27;s always the option to dual-wield and use a Linux or de-googled android phone for daily use and keep a second device around for the apps that won&#x27;t run there, but that is both a pain I don&#x27;t expect many people to buy into. I&#x27;m just about at the point of going this route for myself, but it does feel more like admitting defeat than anything else.
