The consequence of playing in a walled garden. Is there still no way to release an iPhone app out with the iOS app store?
yes, you can i heard instacart for example uses their enterprise cert signed app for their drivers/deliverers. Drivers are instructed to go into settings and change things to allow loading that app

> it'd be financial suicide to not be on the App Store. I find it amusing that people and businesses are willing to put their future in the hands of a company that has historically destroyed anyone who gets enough users on their platform. If this is the best option, I think that the best option would be to actively work with a platform competitor. Do developers have a sense of stockholm syndrome ?
What's your alternative, since there isn't any, except to completely change your industry or business model? iOS users are known to pay for apps they like. Android users less so.

Forget that useless malicious platform already. It's not worth it.

I just googled this, found some references to the anime image boards. Most were Hentai / Porn. If the main purpose of an app is viewing adult content, its main purpose is viewing adult content - even if you have to add th…
In that case they should ban browsers, too (which in a way they do, there's a de-facto WebKit monopoly on iOS).

If you want to create a cross-platform mobile app, you have no choice. In my country, iPhones are ~50% of smartphones. This needs to be regulated.
It is not your right to reach all those people.
