MacOS IAP Example

App Store in newer macOS systems or System preferences in the new macOS Ventura. Quo vadis Apple??? Are you preparing for the merging iOS and macOS and the touch control? (Catalyst is a way to hell.)

Apple has been merging the two platforms since at least 2018, it’s just becoming more and more obvious.

@Michel_Bujardet

Federighi stated more than once that Mac would not be touch enabled.

He also stated they were NOT merging the two platforms, and yet here we are.

@Michel_Bujardet

I suspect they won’t touch enable macOS because they want to push iPad Pro as their touch enabled “computer”.

Why sell people one device, when you can sell 'em two.

@Michel_Bujardet

but I noticed how some calls are really similar between the two platforms.

This is how I know that Federighi was talking ■■■■■■■■. Overtime, not only have iOS bugs appear in the macOS, but even to the point that last year, macOS functionality stopped working and the solution was to use documented iOS methodology to solve the problem. Apple still haven’t updated their docs and I can see on the Apple Developer forums, that developers are continuing to face this problem.

Merging the platforms makes sense, but it was the lying and the lack of care that makes this sad.

I heard that there is no longer any macOS team. If indeed the iOS team is in charge of macOS, makes sense.

About iOS and iPad Pro, chances are they sell many more of them than Macs. Which explains the lack of care for the later.

About lies, if indeed Apple spots an opportunity in making Mac touch enabled, they will indeed forget any statement from Federighi. Since today the first computer is an iPhone, and since now macOS runs iOS apps, the writing is on the wall.
