Aside from any business/ philosophical reasons they might have, one concrete reason for this is that the App Store prohibits apps from asking for accessibility permissions, needed for recording keystrokes, which I imagine would basically make this app impossible!
I have Moom installed from the App Store, it requires the Accessibility feature to be flipped on in Privacy and Security -> Accessibility before it'll work.
Interesting, maybe they've changed this since I last looked at it. At some point I was pretty sure that Accessibility required unsandboxing, but App Store required sandbox enabled.
Not really. The customer buys from me, not Apple and I get their email address and can ask them to sign up for my newsletter. I have to sign my and notarize my software with Apple, but the customer probably isn't even aware of that,
I meant it in a way where you still need Apples "permission" to distribute the app, through the developer license and notarization. Without it you/we couldn't sign the app causing trouble for the end user, or am I wrong here?
