I mean that it should work as a phone, not just a small tablet. So now, for each device, you have to port desktop Linux to whatever generation kernel it came with.ĭebian, in contrast, can assume that you're using the standard modern kernel. So while there's postmarketOS and Replicant (both trying to port regular Linux (for lack of a better word) to phones), very few phones work properly (and most are fairly old and not sold anymore, IIRC Replicant's newest phone they support is the European S3 - guess how old that thing is). The real problem is that you can't get a phone which can run upstream kernel. The entire scenario makes me feel a little sick: this shouldn't even be legal as far as I'm concerned.

In practice, though, a lot of people are seriously only learning to develop so that one day they can pay the full Apple developer tax and deploy their apps to the App Store under the Apple software approval process, and so it works out: like, to them, software development is all about writing software for Apple hardware under Apple's rules, and that's what Apple wants anyway. > Clearly the free tier is pretty worthless in the grand scheme of things, and being able to write software for you but not being able to legitimately give it to anyone else not also paying the $100/yr "please let me own the piece of hardware you sold me instead of renting it" tax is not really acceptable for people trying to learn to write software as a big part of software is being able to give it to other people.

> There are three levels: $300/yr for "enterprise" allows you to deploy your app on a large number of devices within your organization (and the terms of service are very explicit that the devices must be under your control: not even for testing by a customer at an off-site location unless you are overseeing), $100/yr for an individual or company normal developer license that lets you install your app for testing purposes on up to 100 of your devices for one year (after which point the apps expire and you have to reinstall them), or $0 for truly "free" provisioning (no yearly fee) which lets you install up to three apps (total not per account: across all free accounts any device can have only three such apps) on a device using a slightly limited set of APIs (for example: no VPN support) which expire every seven days.

I thought it was really cool that you can deploy apps you compile yourself on your device out of the app store without paying the $99 yearly fee but apparently that's not the case. I still don't get why I can't compile and deploy my own apps on my own devices without paying Apple $99 a year. Using F-Droid, you don't need to touch Google's ecosystem.Ībsolutely.
