The dev time of blocking these features in the EU will be FAR higher than allowing apps to use the already existing and well implemented apis.

They simply need to polish up some internal api docs for making public and stop saying no to apps implementing these features on the app store.

No it wonโ€™t dude youโ€™re just making stuff up.

Also you seem to be under the persuasion that youโ€™re forced to use Appleโ€™s App Store. Youโ€™re not. Alternatives like Altstore PAL exist and are readily available if you wish. Whether you actually want to use those apps is another matter, but the choice is there.

Why do you want to force iOS to open up so bad anyway? I get that software freedom is cool but for that you already have Android (for the time being anyway). I used Android for 15 years but now as I grow older I appreciate the minimalist and well integrated ecosystem that Apple offers. The world is better with both options. Youโ€™re demanding a world where youโ€™re forced to have only one.

This is why Europe canโ€™t create anything btw. Everyone is so focused on changing what already exists and works well instead of innovating and bringing something new to the table.

I once again have failed to not feed the troll, goddamit.

I wish you luck on your future trolling endeavours.
