This reminds me of the arguments that the British government have used
to set up a surveillance society.

Folks,
With respect, I agree with Paul’s comments. We live in an online environment
where we are faced, on a daily basis, with criminal activity. The worst of it
can cost us financially, but even major players like Amazon record our
behaviors and choices, for their profit, with disclosure statements too long,
so most folks don’t read them. I get several phone calls every day from folks
from “who knows where?” trying to get my personal info so they can access my
bank account.
It is sad, I agree, that it is more difficult to make an app that we want to
send to our friends, because of Apple’s security requirements. But, suppose
someone distributes an app to your friends with malware and claims to be you?
When there is so much info about each of us available already, spoofing as
anybody else isn’t so hard. Clicking on nefarious links is common and the
innocent staff of public agencies have inadvertently let ransomware into their
workplace, costing big for their employer.
I get frustrated too, about the ever changing Apple requirements that make it
harder for me to share my apps. Mathew’s signing app is a wonderful
contribution that will make it much easier.
So, my mindset now is that we live in a swamp full of alligators and that
protective clothing, while hot and uncomfortable, keeps me and my friends
safe(er).
Have fun,
Bill

That may be exactly what happens next if the big guys continue with their
nonsense.
More developers will rebel and leave their platforms altogether in favor of
Linux.
Just my 2 cents. :-)
