The answer is simple don't make a mobile game. Write a web app or desktop application.

It is the same as console games or anywhere someone else controls the platform.

IMO the fact that this is the best path is clear evidence that we need mobile app store reform. It's mind boggling to me that people still defend this status quo

If control was somehow wrestled from them a second golden age of mobile apps would emerge.
