I don't think any of us are happy about the contortions we increasingly need to go through to get apps into the app stores or out to the public. Keeping up with Apple is even harder for the LC team.

But Apple sells privacy and safety as its primary distinctive feature. There are instances where an app was decompiled, malware added, and recompiled using the original author's name. That not only endangers the public, but also trashes the developer's reputation through no fault of their own.

Adding a verification token is a way to make that harder. Google has a different system in place, currently optional but highly encouraged, which does the same thing since they've found several instances of this kind of malware insertion.

That may be exactly what happens next if the big guys continue with their nonsense. More developers will rebel and leave their platforms altogether in favor of Linux.

Just my 2 cents.  :-)

If you want a developer platform use Linux
