Developers Are in Open Revolt over Apple's New App Store Rules

The store is trusted though. Do you not understand what "trusted" means in a sales context? It means I'll get the binary I'm supposed to get, everytime, and my CC info will be secure. If something goes wrong, they'll refund me.

This isn't about developers it's about consumers.

The word trusted doesn't change meanings when you move to a sales context unless you're a salesman.

Trusted simply means that the arrangement benefits $bigcorp's bottom line.

It only has a very specific meaning in software. To consumers Apple's App store is trusted.

I wonder what you would happen if you really probed a "consumer" about what they mean by trusted.

I can guarantee you they aren't going to mention code audits.

Please do guarantee this, and then actually go perform this experiment.
