      Having been in the app store development community for a decade, this isn’t honestly the WORST thing. So much malware gets pushed now it’s a fucking gha-tto. This isn’t the worst thing to combat, though I believe there should be a FREE tier for Open Source or otherwise community-driven apps to be released on with zero barriers - AGAIN, oenisn game sort of verification which could be cheap, reliable and FREE.
