I thought you can do a SwiftUI project on an iPad using playgrouds, then send the project to your macbook if you want to release from there. I never tried it though.

You can actually publish from the iPad now. I think that's been an option for 2 years or so.

Yes of course, Apple doesn't have to follow it's own rules.

Well yes, Apple's internal software development teams aren't bound by Apple's standard external developer license.

Though I suppose the EU might eventually insist that external developers gain access to the same APIs that Apple itself can use.

Isn't that one of the issues Microsoft had in their monopoly trial?
