Why stick with AppStore?

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Are there valid business reasons to not release Amphetamine outside the AppStore?

He'll need to spend extra money to sign the app, and if he does not, it might potentially turn down users. It will also be hard to track download numbers unless with a tracker. By releasing on the App Store, he will bypass the "Allow apps from unidentified developers" prompt.

Hi @sirnacnud, @geenva is spot-on with the reasons why. App development is a part-time gig/hobby for me. The App Store simplifies a lot of the cost, distribution, and marketing issues that I would otherwise have to handle on my own.
