I know what you’re thinking… these are just the ramblings of a failed app developer who blames Apple for their own shortcomings. I’d love to see Apple wield that power to shape the App Store in ways that will sustain and encourage meaningful development instead of continuing to allow the deck to be stacked against it. Similar to how governments shape economies through tax law and other policies, Apple shapes the App Store economy through App Review policies, App Store implementation details, editorial decisions, the App Store search algorithm, and in so many other subtle (and not so subtle) ways. Apple has made some progress here and there, but overall Apple’s strictness in some areas and hands off approach in others has disproportionately rewarded bad actors while stifling conscientious developers.Īs I’ve said many times before, the App Store is not a free market. Apple can and does dramatically shape the App Store economy.
I’ve been pestering Apple for years publicly and privately about the manipulation and outright scams going on in the App Store.
