"Apple doesn't have dedicated support for established devs"
"They do, I was in it"
"Why don't they support all devs this way? Apple sux."
Added:
"They do, you get 2 free support tickets"
"Oh they do? It still wouldn't fix every problem. Apple still sux."
In this lose-lose environment, I can only expect Apple will simply end up pissing people off no matter what it does.
I realize we all know this but I've never seen it expressed so succinctly in a thread.
What features are you asking for that apply to this thread?
You do not have a god given right for them to follow your policies.
> They will always piss people off as long as they charge them for a product that should be included with their computer by-default.
The goalposts move with every comment. You don't have the right to determine what parts of their products are free vs. paid.
Apple has been the vanguard of selling software for years. People don't buy desktop software anymore, and it wasn't all that successful to begin with. They do buy software on phones, though, and Apple enables an ecosystem that might not otherwise exist. It's not clear to me that Google needs paid apps. They were happy with ads before that.
