I’ll have to test this tomorrow. Last time I tried sideloading direct from our website I had to flip a switch in settings which came with a scare dialog. If I remember correctly, it was a system wide setting too and…
It’s possible to hate them and recognize why they’re doing at the same time though…although I do think there’s also a hefty dose of arrogance and self importance in there. I’m old enough to remember when we (devs) felt…
No, I’d say the vast majority of reputable developers are not trying to scam you. But there are some trying to scam you…and some of those are also in the App Store…as long as they use IAP to scam you all is well.
Google have an interest in moving people away from desktop applications because they don’t have a desktop OS (not counting Chromebook). We run 3 SaaS apps. One is strictly native, and the other two are strictly web.…
To this day, I prefer windows, and I have to switch between Mac and windows all day every day.
And to a degree, that’s why developers tend to hate Apple. They paint us as a pack of crims trying to steal from unsuspecting Apple users.
I don’t buy it. Apple build iOS and I’m sure they will sandbox alt browsers as they do with every other 3rd party app on the phone.
PWA’s on Android can be installed directly from a website…it’s awesome, less friction and less scammy than the Play Store. On iOS you need to use the Share > Add to Home Screen which normies have no clue about. You’ll…
It’s because you probably had a phone before the iPhone. If you’re not already a vr user then it’s hard to imagine how this will fit in your life. For me, if I happen to get an opportunity to strap a vr device to my…
The verge very briefly mentioned it in the “magic till not” video.
We regrettably have one app under apples scrutiny…we won’t make that mistake again. Open web is the best place for us to invest our time.
Have you actually used it for general computing tasks? If so, how was it?
I loved my htc with the slide out keyboard! Sure, it would reboot occasionally when you slid the keyboard out and it took 45 minutes to send an email on edge but that was back to the future stuff back then.
Yep, I’d say if this thing can’t sell beyond the Apple services subscribers, it won’t exist in 5 years.
Not sure how many devs they’ll get. Of course they’ll get some, but we refocused to invest in PWA’s because of Apple and Googles App Store behavior…we’re certainly not the only devs doing this.
Depends on what they want it to be. For sure there will be some hardcore indies that just love developing for vr. There will probably be some game studios ready to go. TikTok will probably be there. But, why would…
Good luck with that. Devs made the iPhone a hit and Apple demonized them over it. Can’t imagine too many are eager to make the same mistake twice.
Ummm…might want to tell that to Apple. Check the guidelines. If us devs were smart, we’d organize and have our apps go on a maintenance break until Apple and Google remember what a computing and platform is without 3rd…
Agree 100% Last two products we have built were PWA’s and platform risk is the biggest reason for that.
We already pay them an annual fee, buy a bunch of hardware to test on, and pay to send people to their App Store where they sell ads on our trademarked names. On the flip side, when’s the last time you’re seen a…
A Walmart customer doesn’t invest $1100 for the pleasure to walk through their front door so they also shop at target, Amazon and direct. There is no way to deliver native software to a users iPhone without the App…
