Favorite comment on twitter re this:

I just want to know what were the 1000 No's that lead to the Yes for Planet of the Apps?

That trailer looks godawful. Not one of those 'sharks' is suitable for the job; the whole thing is a joke.

If its a joke, consider me fooled. Amongst all the things that need to be addressed by Apple, this is what they prioritize.

Time will tell if this is Apple's sweaty monkey moment... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vhh_GeBPOhs

Not saying it's a joke, but that it's not really important

Guess you don't develop for iOS, macOS or you don't use Apple products. The sorry state of their developer toolset, and both app stores is reason enough to be pissed that they see this as a priority.

I am sure they are moving the entire Xcode team over to work on this.

So they're doing with TV what they've been doing with software and hardware too: Take what somebody else did, wrap it in a nice little Jessica Alba tie and force it onto the world.

Meh.

Is this crap for real? If so, I was wondering when software dev was going to become the star of reality TV.
As for that Alba woman, who the hell is she?

She was an actress, not a very good one, but more into business start ups now and she is very good at that ($340 Million net worth)

 

[Roo!]

Oh my hat!!! Apple is a joke, those "Idols for apps" judges are a joke, this show is a joke!!! What the does a company that's produces iTunes know about real development?!?!?!

You can't be serious

People love BS shows.

This is true.

I use apple products. I have a MacBook, an iPhone, an iPad and an Apple TV. I use my MacBook for java development. I don't really spend time on the Apple Store. The apps I have mostly been interested in where music related guitar apps. The App Store is pretty much like any Store. 95% doesn't interest me. It doesn't bother me if people put crap on it. I couldn't care less. It's a market. It's inevitable that most of what's on it wont interest everyone. People will always try and sell rubbish. Why should software be immune to human nature? Just as we learnt to ignore rubbish in other stores, learn to ignore rubbish in an online store, or just don't shop there.

Cool that explains your indifference; you don't care because you're clueless when it comes to iOS / macOS / ... development, similarly the issues with the app stores.
Ps. The app store isn't the same as any other store; believing its a this or that choice, just shows your ignorance.

i seem to have offended you. I didn't mean to..... I did care at some point, but as I have become older, I have realised that there is no point in getting pissed at something as arbitrary as this.

Once again, sorry if I offended you.

Nope no offence. From a user's perspective the problems are less in your face; except that you may have noticed that the Mac AppStore is quite rubbish compared to the iOS AppStore (not that it's perfect by any measure, to the contrary); without going into detail, there's a lot of reasons for that; similarly big issues with the tooling. The general disdain is because most of these issues are long standing; in short the way Apple approached the Appstores all but destroyed the Indie software market, and when pressed they all but ignored the community.
