#FF00AA


4 oct. 2014

I hadn’t realized that in-app purchases were excluded from family sharing (via Breakpoint). An odd choice which is going to push even more developers towards the annoying freemium model, and make family sharing pretty much irrelevant to apps. (Note that freemium apps wouldn’t annoy me so much if they didn’t impose on the developer to check the validity of purchase receipts. For paid apps, it’s a viable choice to ignore piracy altogether and assume that the app running on a device is proof enough that it was purchased; for in-app purchases, it’s far too easy for a user to modify the app’s data files, without even jailbreaking.)

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
