Python grapples with Apple App Store rejections


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.
