devs30756yI mean, when developing apps, you would usually have a phone for testing anyways.
That said, I still completely disagree with such a cheap move from Apple. -
C0D4669026yIf someone has a Mac, and ships apps.... wtf are are testing on?
Unless it’s Mac only apps? -
Wabby10336y@M1sf3t the simulator is just that. There is no replacement for a physical device.
A true iOS dev will have most physical devices at hand for proper testing covering all versions of supported iOS and hardware/screen resolutions. -
karma108396yApple sucks ... I'm kicking it all out, they lost touch with what they were in the past

jeeper58096y@devs fair enough but I don’t like signing into my work iCloud on my personal phone. I do have an older phone, but that was a recent development. You could argue my work should provide a dedicated dev device but 🤷🏻♂️
Moreover, how do you set up the 2FA? With the security questions you needed to know to get in the account in the first place. It’s absolutely theatrical.

Apple is now forcing 2 factor authentication for publishing apps on the App Store. Except not just regular 2 factor, 2 factor via AppleId. Which means you have to have the AppleID on 2 different Apple devices! You now have to have a Mac and another Apple device to ship an app and you still have to pay $100/yr for the license.
Hell I usually like Apple stuff but this has gone so fucking far off the rails.
