      The real answer is to let people load apps from outside of the App Store.

      If you’re going to run an AppStore, you’re going to be subject to the laws of every country, and you’ll have to segment it by region.

        I see from your post history, it’s full of great comments. Not sure why your reaction here was so harsh. I hope your day is going okay.

        Perhaps I wasn’t clear. I meant have one app store and ignore those governments who want to ban apps.

        Also, being able to directly load apps on your devices is way better anyway.
