Not so sure about lame of PushBullet. It feels more lame of all of the major tech players to be essentially fighting over how much they can extort out of developers using their monopoly powers.
Facebook seems to say, you have 1 week to update your sign-in integration code to the latest version (or I guess they get cut off from Facebook API or something?).
Apple says you must support Apple sign-in, or you won't be allowed on our App Store, without with it's nearly impossible to get your app on an iPhone.
Google says guess what we want based on our vague emails and meaningless responses, or we remove your extension/app from the store, making it nearly impossible to use on Chrome.
Geez, it's like Microsoft is the good guy of the tech majors here.
Look, there's more than enough lame decisions to go around in this case. :P
I agree with Apple's stance. The landscape has changed. To be a tech superpower is to have your own pull, and to be able to make unilateral decisions on behalf of your business and your customers/users. That is what Apple has done here. I happen to agree because I already like Apple's implementation of Sign in with Apple specifically, even though I have never used it. I also agree with Apple's stance on privacy generally.
I don't like that Apple forced this decision in this way, but I am fine with the outcome in general, but am saddened to see that it negatively affected a developer whose product I use. However, I question the Pushbullet dev's dedication to the iOS platform. Mobile development is a moving target. To single out Apple for blame for changing the App Store conditions for apps is silly. You could just as well blame the dev for not keeping up with the times.
