> The difference is I bought the device so I don’t care if you feel restricted as a developer.

I don't see how that logically follows. I bought my device, too. How does that consequence developer-me not being allowed to make software?

If you think I'm behind one of these obnoxious corporations, no sir the 180° opposite. I haven't made a mobile app in my life that I haven't also published the source code of, nor made a dime off of them, salaried or otherwise. Desktop or mobile is all the same ethos, if I'm reading correctly that you seem to expect the worst just because I code things up for my own device and whoever else wants to use it?

I’ve installed Xcode. Pretty sure you can write anything and install it on your own device, the restrictions are on distribution.
