Canβt wait for garbage electron style apps to start showing upβ¦
So Apple still wants to have the power to reject apps from third party app stores.
Curious if that will pass the EUs "Gatekeeper Law", when they explicitly want to stay the gatekeeper, even if unpaid.
I think this is probably partially a way of indemnifying themselves against any potential problems that users have will malware. There are two outcomes:
- Apple retains gatekeeper prerogative - keeps an eye on any software too problematic
- Brussels says 'No', and Apple can subsequently say 'well we wanted to prevent malware but the EU told us we can't so sorry your phone was compromised, but you are on your own'.
It's just a signing process to verify that it comes from the actual dev from what it sounds like
As a Brit, this gives me yet another reason to wish unending cramps on the shitcunts behind Brexit.
The real cunt here is Apple...
Yep. But letβs not detract from the shithouses that brought us Brexit.
I wonder if citizens outside of the EU can access this. Would love a proper Firefox on my iPhone.
Write to your mp or congress representative.
I wonder if this will have any real effect. Allowing other browser engines only in the EU means the developers would need to create browsers specifically for this market and who would do that?
