Python grapples with Apple App Store rejections
[LWN subscriber-only content] An upgrade from Python 3.11 to 3.12 has led to the rejection of some Python apps by Apple's app stores. That led to Eric Froemling submitting a bug report against CPython.
He suggested that the workaround be time-limited, to give users a decent experience " while also not letting large firms simply externalize their bizarre issues onto OSS projects". Another approach, suggested by Alyssa Coghlan, would be to use a JSON configuration file that urllib would read to set up its module level attributes " rather than hardcoding its knowledge of all the relevant schemes". It is frustrating that free-software projects like Python have to waste time finding ways around opaque review processes just so developers can write software for non-free platforms.
