For these developers, the App Store is a nightmare

A new report from the sitemobilegamer.bizwas interested in developers who rail against the functioning of the App Store, it is true particularlyrestrictiveagainst them. Many platforms are in fact refused by Apple, because they do not respect the conditions of use or lack information within their presentation sheet – among other things.

Among thegriefsnoted by our source of the day, we also find the very limiting rules of the application store, to the point that one of the people interviewed explains having completely abandoned the idea of ​​offering his game on iOS. Instead, the creator preferred to bet everything on Android, although gamers' spending there was lower.

Insufficient security

But beyond the barriers to entry, they are alsoserious risks for end userswhich would have to be taken into account. Still according to the same article, studios would thus manage to activate features dangerous for confidentialityAfterthat Apple has nevertheless validated their app. All from a distance, and without attracting the attention of the Apple company.

As a bonus, it would be more difficult to obtain an agreement to publish an update than to offer a brand new app from scratch, for its first edition. A shame!

Some were able to pose as… McDonald’s

Worse still: according to another developer, Apple is so picky about researchingmalwarepotential that the company would forget to verify the identity of companies submitting their applications to the App Store. To the point that when the person concerned pretended to be nothing less than McDonald's, the deception would have passed like a letter in the post.

It is impossible to verify the authenticity of these exchanges, but they nevertheless seem to echoother similar revelations. We can bet that, if the facts are proven, Apple will quickly update its verification processes in favor of publishers.
