Discoverability and the closed nature of the ecosystem asre problems.
Discoverability and the closed nature of the ecosystem asre problems. If I create a web version of an app I own the relationship with my customers, not Apple. I can charge, monetize in a dozen different ways and even manage enterprise relationships as I see fit. This is what we are doing witheducational software. I got sick and tired of having Apple as gatekeepers. Bug fixes are a nightmare because you are on their schedule, not yours. You can't deploy fixes or new features overnight or over a weekend. Your customers suffer because Apple is in the middle wanting to micro manage it all. So we've shifted our strategy to web based apps done wih Python, jQuery, etc. and, you know, it feels good. The 30% isn't the issue, Apple is the issue.
