> That 100 dollars is just the fee to even make an app. Even if your iPhone never has an Internet connection. And even if you literally load the app via USB to your iPhone only.

This is incorrect.

You make it sound like you cannot even get started unless you pay a $100 fee. You do not need to pay Apple any fees to make an app and put it on your own device. You have to pay the fee once you want to distribute it on the App Store.

This is incorrect.

If you want to load the app on your own phone WITHOUT the app store, you MUST pay Apple 100 dollars.

Unless you want to rebuild the app every 7 days, which any reasonable human will conclude is a stupid ass arbitrary limitation.

Again, it cannot be justified with any technical means. Please, don't even bother trying.

  • You are contradicting yourself in your comment.

    • I don't think you read my comment.

      Trying to get me on an "erm well akshually" level semantic argument means you're wrong, you know you're wrong, and now you're just being annoying.

      Both of us can agree that the 7 day limitation is far too stringent to be a legitimate solution. So we will go ahead and pretend it does not exist, because for all intents and purposes, it doesn't.
