And this is why iOS gets progressive web apps from me. It isn't that I can't afford $100, it's more fuck Apple for demanding tribute from my work.
Luckily google would never do the same to android /s
Its still cheaper to publish on the play store (one time fee of $25), and iirc apks would still be installable with adb anyway.
Still a shitty thing to do
One time fee sure, and then they close your account for not pushing updates frequently enough....
Honestly, that's great, but you might as well cut to the chase and switch ROMs as well. Google isn't going to budge.
more than that; you need to build on a ios machine, so every few years you have to buy a mac mini or some shit just to run xcode to compile the app. at least the last time I released an app across both stores that's where we were (8 years ago).
Cloud bro
not really wild about it. but, fortunately has not been a problem since ignoring the iOS market lol.
If they are charging that much they clearly don't want my app
If people want your app on ios then set up a donnorbox or something.
Will a döner box do?

How about a dick in a box?
That comes in the Donner Party box
