Browsers are even worse. One example recently they removed support for using local apis.

If i'm using https://example.com i cant access http://192.168... without enabling a flag in the browser settings.

This broke many industrial applications and we had to teach people how to enable that flag.

There's no scape when building applications, every platform there's something that developers use and they will just remove/block or make it unusable

I respect what you and the Amethyst team are doing to provide options not dependent on tyrannical app stores. I'm mad at Apple and Google that it's an uphill battle (smartphone freedom) on top of an already difficult uphill battle (Nostr adoption).

I know, I tried for months to get amber into the play store and when I was almost there they added some spaces at my LLC name, after that I just gave up.

People talk a lot about Apple but Google is way worse when you create a new dev account.

Maybe one day we can finally change this.

Its a pain to get a new app there, but applications showing full screen ads can stay at the play store forever and nothing happens to them.

Every month I have to remove some of those apps from my parents phone because instead of using the files apps from the os they try to install App cleaners from the Play store
