How many people upset over Apple's rules are actually iPhone developers?
devinj: I'm an iphone developer (or at least, I have been intermittently in the current project I'm working on). Other than the iPhone, I developed a Java ME app once (I won't make that mistake again).I'm pretty upset about it, but I'm not one of the people yelling at Apple everywhere (and honestly I am one of the people that got tired really quickly about how much it was filling up the front page of HN). It doesn't affect the code I've written-- I used Objective C, all the way, because I was new to the platform and that's what it's documented with.Honestly, it scares me, and it scares me enough that I have no real interest in developing for the iPhone anymore. Apple doesn't appear to care about its developers. This isn't so bad, except that it also has a lot of control over its developers. I have little investment in the platform (one app? pff), and not much reason to develop for it (users are not really that big of a motivator here), and so I quit. iPhone development is a gamble I don't want to take. (And of course, the new change prevents me from hedging my bets and developing cross-platform apps. How annoying!).
