Comment on: Run Android ARM64 VR APKs on Apple Vision Pro
Car analogy time. Users would be angry if your car could only run on Apple fuel, and drive on Apple roads, and were speed-limited based on what Apple thinks is safe.The fact that we think this is normal for phones is crazy. And the longer we wait the more Apple fuel stations and Apple roads there will be, until there is no way back.
Comment on: Run Android ARM64 VR APKs on Apple Vision Pro
I've been telling people this car analogy:Imagine your car would only let you drive on road approved by the manufacturer, obviously, for your safety. But then they would approve roads only if 30% of anything you paid for in that road would go to the car company.Sounds stupid? Well phone manufacturer taking 30% of everything is exactly that to me.
Comment on: Run Android ARM64 VR APKs on Apple Vision Pro
Sure you can, via e.g. Termux. Have done so.Also, I don't want to run Xcode, it is arguably the worst development environment and hasn't gotten any better over the years.I have to use Xcode regardless, if I want to develop for iOS or macOS. I don't have to use Android Studio, I got plenty of alternatives for that.
