> You just can't mention that fact in your iOS app.
And you don't think that is anti-competitive? Apple is free to promote their own services on their platform that compete with others, require them to pay a 30% tax that their own competing service does, and the only escape hatch they give you is "you can use the web, but you can't tell your users"
Am I taking crazy pills, or do other people think this is absurd.
The first rule of alternative signup models on the App Store is, you don't talk about alternative signup models.
Of course it is absurd. But a lot of people have no idea what this is even all about.
A large part of the internet is screaming "The evil Epic brought this upon themselves, if they don't want to pay 30 %, then don't use iOS!"
Apple increases costs for users, just because they bought an iOS device. Thats definetly not good for consumers.
But what are developers going to do about it? For some developers, over 2/3 of their customers are on a iOS device, so just not using the App Store is not a realistic option. Apple has also made sure that the App Store is the only possible way.
So, it's way to big to ignore, and there is definetly no competition. Clearly something has to happen. I would also love to be able to use a decent browser like Firefox or Chrome on iOS(not the current webkit crap apple forces mozilla and Google to use).
