OMFG. OMFG.... You can't make this shit up even if you tried.

Imagine you are an app developer with a functioning backend. That backend has users and those user's are grouped together in something called a "company".

So you make two test users within a "test" company, so that the app reviewers of Apple and Google can test your app. Those users are respectively called "apple@domain.tld" and "google@domain.tld".

This morning I got an email from Apple that said;

"Guideline 2.1 - Information Needed

We were unable to sign in with the following demo account credentials you provided in App Store Connect:"

Turns out, that the app reviewer of Google removed the test user used by Apple......
🤦‍♂️

Installing FOSS apps on your phone sometimes certainly feels like an eternal XKCD 927 purgatory.

- Apps by GrapheneOS for some GrapheneOS apps (and assorted
✨other✨ apps).
- Obtainium for installing apps directly from source/repos.
- Neo Store for installing apps who cannot be arsed to have
.apk files in their repos (#AntennaPod), yet without dealing with the typical F-Droid shenanigans.
- Accrescent, because hell, why not! The more, the merrier!
- And, of course, Google Play Store for the corporate goblins.

Based on the number of pageviews this 2023 article has gotten this week, I have a pretty good guess for what present a lot of folks unpacked this week... only to experience moderate annoyance that Amazon tablets don't have the Google Play Store pre-installed. buff.ly/4fBDWWr #AmazonFireMax11 #GooglePlayStore #FireOS #FireTablet

Het is niet de bedoeling dat gebruikers van Android telefoons voor vrijheid kiezen, hun privacy beschermen met een alternatief Android OS, zonder de spyware van Google. Dit is onderhand zo'n bedreiging voor Google dat zij hun PlayStore blokkeren voor een alternatief OS. Misschien de Google PlayStore zo snel mogelijk verlaten en overstappen op alternatieven zoals de F-Droid app store. #GooglePlayStore #BigTechSpyware #BigTechSurveillance
