Hi Andre. Respectfully I agree to disagree. My iPhone has never been
compromised. My Mac laptop has. I think what apple is asking you to do as a
developer is not egregious. A few features and off you go. Apple is not saying

Erm. Had it not dawned on you that this might be because apple has this
restrictive policy in the first place? It's like some roman in a bar, saying,
