I wish somewhere on their site or anywhere in that description they'd say "Android App".
I was a little disappointed as an iOS user browsing their site trying to find the iOS App Store link ๐ฌ.
Edit: I appreciate the advice to switch to Android but I really wasn't asking. ๐
Apple actively sabotages projects like this one. You're using the wrong phone.
Silly apple user you don't get to have good apps
All you can hope is that some day they are forced to support 3rd party apps because of some anti monopoly lawsuit telling them they have too.
But good luck with that, Apple is very powerful and can probably just buy out the right lawyers and judges in that situation.
Or if they were forced to it would have an Apple twist on it like they get to approve the 3rd party app stores that are allowed or something.
Just get an Android phone you can put a custom ROM on and you'll have a very good experience.
I'm not sure if you are aware already but the reason Epic are announcing a million changes to their business is that the previous business plan was based around them successfully throwing a fortune at suing Apple to force them to support 3rd party apps and they tried and failed.
I think if it were ever going to happen that way, Epic would have succeeded.
That's not to say it won't still happen one day through political means. Seems plausible the EU might force it at some stage.
