I can't put it on the App Store even if I wanted to - it's for a local server so it won't pass review.
I can't just use a local debug build - those expire after a week or so.
What can I even do here?
It always leaves a sour taste hearing him say that. While he is undoubtedly 100% right, we all know he's not saying it because he cares about a free market. He only cares because it's eating up his share of the profit. Why can't we have other people at the forefront of this than billionaires?
Because every time I read about a new round of BS my blood boils and my attitude against Apple and other huge anticompetitive corporates just hardens.
Apple ended this excitement recently with this news.
Tis a sad day for decentralization and the un censorship of mobile.
There must be people sitting at Apple HQ whose task it is to come up with ways to screw their customers. I love it.
Of course, they won’t because they want money just like Apple, but if Spotify, epic etc stopped working on iOS devices Apple would consider changing their behavior.

Does Apple think its shenanigans are going to precipitate a backlash against EU regulation? Because every time I read about a new round of BS my blood boils and my attitude against Apple and other huge anticompetitive corporates just hardens.
Let's say I want to make a little dashboard for a home server that I can view on my iPhone in full screen. If I live in the EU, how am I supposed to add it to my home screen?

The real solution is to stop using Apple products and use android which can do what you’re asking trivially.
He's right. Apple has been strangling web app progress on iOS for many years. They wanted to ensure that web apps could never compete with native apps on the App Store, because they can extract their 30% fee. Now that Apple are forced to permit third party browser engines, web apps would suddenly be a lot more powerful. Apple just won't have that, so they're disabling a useful feature for everyone. I think this will…
Everyone just goes on the app store and downloads random website app. Even if it is just a browser app that renders a website.
Apple would have to eliminate something that people actually care about for any boycott Apple to happen.
