- lapcat 1mo agoNo, those are the qualifications to run an app marketplace. Independent web distribution of an app requires only notarization.
- Kwpolska 1mo agoThose requirements apply to direct distribution or alternate marketplaces. Developers not meeting those criteria can still participate in non-Apple distribution by submitting to an alternate marketplace.
- bubblegumcrisis 1mo agoThe "alternative marketplace" should be replaced with "no marketplace." How do people accept this "alternative marketplace" idea? This is obviously a way to increase friction in order to maintain dominance - and the solution is obvious - no marketplace at all.
