App Store: An Unfair Game for developers
Apr 7, 2010 Uncategorized
Apple recently launched iPad apps like iBooks , Pages , keynotes and Numbers , and were published on the App store even though they use private APIs which other iPad developers don’t have access to, if these apps would had been submitted by other developers they would had been rejected by App store .
These first party apps have features like access to system dictionary, true brightness control , and few more which are not available in the current API , this being major cause of frustration for other iPhone and iPad developers
Popular Instapaper app developer Marco Arment says:
This has been problematic in our industry before, and we’re going to start seeing the same arguments against Apple – rightfully so – as they move into more application markets and exert unfair advantages.
That’s not the kind of development or software-market environment I want to see, as it would be a waste of a great platform and great potential. Ideally, Apple should only publish first-party App Store apps that would be approved if they were submitted by a third party, and they should therefore use no undocumented or prohibited APIs.
These programming classes would most probably be available in the upcoming releases of iPhone /iPad SDK , maybe these APIs are experimental or in process , but for iPad developers it’s really an unfair games when the completion isn’t playing by the same rules.
