Is Apple hostile towards developers?

Probably not, but it sometimes feels like it.

This is weird.

They put up a ton of artificial barriers and leave them out to fend for themselves often.

I'd say they're probably one of the most developer hostile companies. The only way the look friendly is in comparison with Nintendo.

Maybe not outright hostile, but they don't care about developer experience. It's more like: "You want you App on our OS? Go figure it out."

Currently I'm annoyed by a long known bug that requires to manually confirm 50+ popups with username and password whenever signing an iOS App...
