That was all implied.

No no, this is an ad hominem: you're an idiot.

I was pointing out that your statement was a strawman. But really it's just a false statement. A lie, if you will.

There has never been any discussion about children consenting with respect to trans rights. The parents and/or medical professionals are ALWAYS involved in the decision.

But as I said, you're an idiot.

Look, it's the rare strawboy!

I disagree. We all enjoyed WandaVision.

It's insane that you don't see how this will affect the actual majority of Apple users and not the extremely minimal use-case of open source devs.

And seriously, if your open source app isn't worth $100 to you or it's users, maybe it's not worth destroying the IOS ecosystem that people rely on?

Or they can buy iOS products and not Android ones?

Look up code signing and entitlements. This is a compile-time thing and an App store validation thing.

Regardless, what are you even arguing?

All of the sandboxing and entitlements stuff boils down to asking the user for permissions to access the data I described.

An app designed to look exactly like Facebook or Tik-tok, installed from a nefarious or less secure app store would reasonably expect to access contacts, the mic and camera, the username and password for that app, and a lot of other data that it can send to a server and use in ways that will negatively affect lots of people.

That's not how parents work.

...do you know what enforces all of that?

The App store...

Specifically it limits what APIs can and can't be used by apps and forces the use of entitlements to access features of the hardware.

Downvote if you want, but entitelements are part of the code signing process which this article is trying to avoid. And jailbroken apps already don't have the protections you're talking about.

It's not uncommon for people to datamine not public API all over Apple's frameworks and the only thing preventing the usage is App Store policies and static analysis tools.

It's an echo chamber just like any other.

These Randoms on the internet desperately want Epic Games to make more money off of Fortnight at the expense of actual Apple product users that they know in real life; their literal friends and family will be made to have a worse product they don't want, just because it sticks it to Apple.

Such as the option that is trying to be killed in this post.

But let's be real, Epic does not want those other options and neither do the Android-using Apple-bad commenters on here and reddit.

They want to side load unsigned code that didn't go through any Apple validation without going through the App store at all.

I can't wait for the day when all it takes to install an app on an iPhone is to click a link and you're done!

That way all it will take to infect my parents' phones with malware capable of scraping copious amounts of my data will be normal phone usage that Apple can't protect against!

And now that AI is capable of simulating voices reasonably well, a phone call from mom asking for sensitive information can be done through her phone by anyone!

HOOT HOOT!

Apparently the National Library of Scotland has caved to the woke liberal agenda of acknowledging that black people exist and your post deserves to be downvoted!

Wait, fleek isn't an STI?

I'm old. What's the drip if not an STI?

But it's such a relatable situation, being a billionaire who can afford to pay to be in the middle of a group of professional UFC fighters while wearing their uniform but obviously not having done anything to earn any of their respect.

We've all been there!

Whose?

Way to save one company money at the expense of another!

Appeals cost money.
