Standalones on el Capitan?

[Erik Beugelaar]

I agree but if you have a brilliant idea for an iOS app and you believe it
will generate money in future you need audiance. And for iOS the only
common way is the AppStore to present your app to buy or offer it as free
download to turn it later if succesfull in a payed version ot subscription
model...

Erik
