There is a difference between the case you have given as an example, of people who run applications in Linux meant only for Windows using Wine on a Linux machine, and the present concerning M1 Macs. They simply have to live with the apps as is, find Mac or Linux replacements for them, or run the apps in a supported manner. There’s some people I know who run Windows apps on CrossOver that are only half-baked when doing so. The developer cannot block such an ability, but they can choose not to support such a unsupported use of the install.

Yet some still choose to install apps that are specifically licensed only foe Windows on WINE/CrossOver, even at the angst of the developer.

There are some developers who do not want their apps running on WINE/CrossOver since they are Windows-only programmers and will never develop for Mac or Linux. What Apple has blocked is the ability to run apps a user has a license to, but in an unsupported manner.Ī similar instance is when running a Windows app under WINE/CrossOver.

iOS app files contain the Apple ID of the end user who purchased or downloaded them in the app, and Apple already has the ability to block launching apps that are not licensed to the Apple ID holder when apps are sideloaded on a device.Īlready the precautions are in place to prevent an end user from stealing another end user’s purchased apps. ‘unsupported’ ? This is not ‘unsupported’. As it could be, I suspect, to many others. Now, if I can not write code that can compile and test-run on an M1 Mac and then share the executable with others also with M1 Macs, the M1 Mac is useless to me. Mainly for performing certain kinds of data analysis and written to run under Linux, but I have also adapted some of it to run on Macs, where it also has been and is working quite well. And I do not mean this hypothetically: this is something I actually have been doing for decades now.

If I develop software that then share with others because I am confident enough that it works as intended, so I can commit myself to taking care of most problems people may run up against while using it, it is because I definitely approve of it, regardless of what Apple, or whoever else might say, or where they would like to keep it. It is software approved and supported by its developers, but not submitted by them to be kept in the Apple store. Alex: “ if it is not approved by the developers and not uploaded to Apple’s Mac Store…no matter if they can physically be run on those Macs…”
