A friend and I spent a month or so building an iOS app we were hoping to release and monetize, but we're also entirely unable to get a developer account created. Corporate entity, DUNS number, American, extremely boring people, and just a generic "Error creating developer account" on the signup form. Apple's support was hopeless in helping.

We gave up and re-built it as a web app. The thing that convinced me was the realization: When was the last time you installed/used a non-game App on the app store that, by your assessment, has less than 1 million users? I looked down my list of installed apps and realized that indie apps are kinda dead anyway. And our web app has been pretty successful.

Just curious, with the web app, how has the experience been for your Apple users vis a vis the Androids? Are you seeing some reduction in expected footfall because of your web app decision?
