It seems that anyone who tries "to party with Apple" ends up with an
almighty hangover sooner rather than later.
While Apple's "Toys R Us"
we-think-we're-cutesy-using-deliberately-incorrect-grammar maybe "Think
Different", the truth
is not "Think" but "Be" to a bloody-minded extreme for the plain and
simple reason that is guarantees they can keep 99% of the profits
in their pockets.
Microsoft Windows is flaky round the edges; hence viruses. Apple is
bound round with steel; hence next to no viruses, and extremely
difficult to "talk to" from anywhere else.
Of course . . . one could develop LiveCode standalones for iOS to be
loaded through Cydia on Jail-broken iPhones and iPads, and
one wouldn't have to "share one's spit" with Apple . . . but I guess
that that is just too wild for most would-be iOS developers: don't know
why.
