Yeah, still have what equates to a scare screen. Tells you file may be harmful upon download, then you need to change a setting which is streamlined to what it was before, but still a scare screen. Now you can allow…
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.
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…
Radically different, yes, but linear with the progression of all tech. I wouldn’t say that the iPhone has significantly outpaced Android devices for example. Likewise, I’d be surprised if apples headset outpaces oculus…
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.
Everyone forgets that the nerds had windows ce phones before Apple hit the market. It was the 3GS and 3rd party dev arcade games that converted me. Apples challenge now is how to convince people who hate them to go to…
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.
Agree 100% Last two products we have built were PWA’s and platform risk is the biggest reason for that.
So you think Apple will go broke if they have to compete with sideloaded apps? Keep in mind, we already pay them for dev tools each year, just like how we pay Microsof for visual studio.
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…
