This is not my experience. We've had reviewers say "app doesn't work well on new (phone model)". When asking for clarification we were told we had to test on a real device. At that point you can either give in, or try getting more info out of the reviewer which is like pulling teeth and will take weeks.
> Xcode, etc are heavily reliant on macOS and would not be easy to port. Xcode itself is Swift+ObjC+AppKit and the simulators just run the iOS userland atop the shared bits between iOS and macOS. This means that a port entails porting all of AppKit or starting a whole new “Xcode for other platforms” codebase to run parallel with original Xcode as well as writing a full on iOS virtualizer for other platforms. Possible, but expensive with questionable ROI.
Okay, and? The entire point is that they're a greedy bigcorp and want money, so yeah. Of course they'll make everyone else bend over backwards so they can rake in the cash.
> Apple definitely supports FIDO keys because I’ve been using YubiKeys to log into my developer account for a while now.
Where is this documented? I don't see anything about this on https://developer.apple.com/support/authentication/
Can you do this without ever associating an iDevice? I can't check because I've sadly already done so and would need to spend $$$ again on a new account, which I don't feel like doing just to prove a point. Please keep in mind this is about an "Account Holder" Apple Developer Account.
