Look closely and you will definitely find a notable portion of the developer / tech community who think Apple’s handling of the App Store is both fair and correct. Their voices don’t generally get amplified as much as the outrage and critical but that’s social media for you.

I find it interesting how the App Store continues to gain power, influence, and prestige despite what has been years of “Apple is killing the developer community” claims. Tells me there is indeed a divide out there in the dev community. Difference between new and old guard maybe?

The vast majority of app developers don’t share any App Store derived revenue with Apple. Impression on Twitter is every developer needs to send in ransom checks to Phil Schiller each week. Only goes to show complexity and diversity of perspective found within the dev community.
