Man, I must really be losing it... quoting myself: "Nor does it diminish the point that in truth, Apple shouldn't have any control at all as to what either developers might want to build or what the developer's customer might want to use." - - - - -
Of all the arguments I made, that is the first and primary complaint that I have and all other issues are at least secondary in scope arising only as a result of the first one. One can make any argument they want, for or against the way distribution or sales works with Apple, but the bottom line from my perspective is that as a builder and seller of hardware, it is completely out of their area of responsibility to attempt to control anything else. You good folks as developers did quite well in building, marketing and providing support to YOUR customers in a somewhat simple, tried and true process and they (Apple) found a way to take that from you. ...in the name of simplicity ...in the name of security ...in the name of improved user experience ...in the name of anything you wish to mention, they still took that from you and then piled on draconian rules and regulations to the point that you no longer work for yourselves or to the benefit of your customers, but rather to the benefit of Apple Corporation. Period. Sorry to have side-tracked Andre's problem and issue and/or to ignite an unpleasant conversation...
