Python grapples with Apple App Store rejections (lwn.net)

> The problem at hand is that Apple's macOS App Store is automatically rejecting apps that contain the string "itms-services". That is the URL scheme for apps that want to ask Apple's iTunes Store to install another app

It's sad that there's nothing that people using iOS can do about these hamfisted policies.


You mean MacOS?


Oh, thanks for pointing that out, I read "App Store" and thought iOS. The macOS app store is used much less, and doesn't have to be used. If this doesn't affect the iOS app store, I'm surprised Python is making any concessions here.
