For what, fat binaries? That's pretty much what Mach-O format had from inception under NeXTSTEP, and survived until now. As it was said in the sibling comment, iOS 9 is introducing a way to cut exactly the slice you need for a particular device.

iOS apps are shipped as fat binaries, so for one, part of that 100mb app is duplicated slices of binaries for armv7, arm64 and possibly, but not likely, armv7s.
Android apps enjoy bytecode that is getting JIT-ed on install.

Well then, how about charging more for faster flights, to account for fuel? I mean, domestic business class isn't that great, but people who pay others people money for it would presumably go for a faster flight.

Re:The 2014 Panic Report

Well, they price Coda Lite 1/5th the price of OSX version. So they get roughly 1/5h of the revenue. Math works out.
They could try and price Coda iOS at $99, but Cabel is right — it's just not that important platform for dev tools, and I don't see people paying that much. Now if those two were incredibly (and equally) valuable products on both platforms AND priced the same AND there was much less revenue from iOS, then sure, we can show AppStore's fault.
Not saying that appstore isn't broken, I think it is, but for this particular example, I don't think store is the problem.

This probably would not help in this case, but, the app should have an emergency button that'll call the police and provide vehicle info and driver details with a real-time coordinates to them. It really is a no-brainer from tech point view, they have all the data.
Or if you want to go even deeper, make drivers install tamper-proof hardware with a big red button. But there a lot of small details and likely regulations in this approach
