Apple business practive needs change!

Hi Pete,
You are absolutely right.. and this is what I have been saying from the first post..
On the other hand, there are so many laws in the Untied States the control the behavior of big corporations, because the legislator knew there is no limit to their greed.
Consumer protection, anti-trust, FDA.. etc.. all work to protect the consumer. After the financial earthquake a few years ago, banks are now under close watch of
the government.
In the United States, you can win a public case only if you have one of two: 1- Money and a lot of it. 2- public support (read votes), and unlike consumers, it is more difficult to have developers sign a petition, because they first, are limited community.. second, they are so busy and many of them sees the hassle doesn't worth it. So what I concluded is that I will use Android for private business, but at the same time will write and talk so Apple can listen and consider the loss when developers start learning about their wrong doing and turn to Android, even with part of their work.

iOS is much more controlled environment. There are many things that we can do in Android and cannot do in iOS.

Personally I think that trying to fight Apple policies is a waste of time. You need to understand the restrictions and challenges and decide whether you like to develop for iOS or not. No one is forced to develop iOS apps.

Allowing to develop iOS apps on Windows is a huge challenge. Apple could have easily added support for Windows however they didn't.
I hope that with B4i the development on Windows will be smooth as possible.

I believe that over time there will be a large demand for B4i. Companies who want to provide a mobile app to their customers will want developers to develop apps for both Android and iPhone. B4A and B4i combined offer much more than a tool for one specific platform. (and don't forget B4J which allows you to create powerful back ends servers).

BTW, don't get me wrong. I don't expect everyone to support B4i. If B4i can help you with your projects then it is great.

@Mr.Erel , plz beer in mind that i will support B4I and im waiting for the release
now i have a question , im almost done with developing a serious music player with B4A for android platform , so my plan is to develop it for IPhones using b4I and for commercial use by mean i will sale it on Apple Store, so do u think such app on apple store are appreciated , can it be a good deal for me , and not waist my time? thank u , and keep ur gd work.

I don't really have a lot of experience with Apple App Store. The guidelines are listed here: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/
