It looks unfair, but Apples goal isn’t to be idealistically fair, but to keep iOS a good experience to users.
For every good use of a feature there’s an abuse case.

And it's odd how they expect that someone integrating with the API will just be able to use it.
I don't understand how this is even a security concern. How does it matter whether an app accesses the camera while it is taking up the full screen vs half?
When Apple tests new ground, only their apps have access to a feature. Then only partners. Then only approved developers. Etc. This gradual rollout allows refinement and reduces the odds of screwups.

This is nothing more than apple giving themselves and their preferred partners an unfair advantage - somewhat in opposition to Tim Cooks recent statement on developer equality.

Reduce the odds of a screwup by giving it to arguably the most popular app in the store? This is nothing more than apple giving themselves and their preferred partners an unfair advantage - somewhat in opposition to Tim Cooks recent statement on developer equality.

So what you’re saying, is that when the platform serves as a gatekeeper it’s unfair? That’s what I’m hearing.

Most popular apps are less likely to abuse the feature in a malicious way and it gives a great amount of users to test the feature.
