Well, many of those uncertain developers are still featuring their applications on the Downloads area of Apple’s website, as well as on services like Bodega, and of course sites like Softpedia. Granted, coding a Mac app is harder, but porting an existing one to the storefront surely isn’t. In fact, it’s not growing nearly as fast as the iOS App Store did when it first launched. You see, when Apple introduced the Mac App Store, it set in place new rules for distribution, forcing many developers to have second thoughts about taking their business to the Mac App Store.Īs a result of this, the Mac App Store was not, and still isn’t getting populated very rapidly. We’re also inclined to believe the Mac App Store is not driving that many downloads, perhaps not yet contributing to the popularity of the Macintosh through a vast library of third party software. Well, there could be any number of reasons, such as Apple simply forgetting to remove it.īut how can one settle on that silly (yet fairly possible) argument? And while the Mac App Store is arguably better organized and snappier altogether, Downloads is still online.
