Probably because Apple has never acknowledged a problem with their platform, let alone rewarded one. Apple's outreach to any kind of dev community is nothing short of awful.



I guess the official statement from Apple that they're working on the lock screen bugs is a case of "Apple never acknowledging a problem with their platform"? I guess they don't have a security-announce list where they post many bugs a month[1]. I guess the message to go along with iOS 7 that lists a bunch of security researchers who disclosed bugs to apple shows their awful relationship with developers[2]. What a bunch of FUD.

Now, now. We wouldn't want to let a pesky thing like reality get in the way of the Apple-hates-developers circle-jerk, would we?


Really? For all these years I follow such things, nothing you said it's true.

Apple regularly posts security updates and notices, and they aknowledge the people who find them.

Heck, even besides security, the claim that "Apple has never acknowledged a problem with their platform" is totally BS.

Steve Jobs himself apologized for the iPhone 4 antenna, and there was also a public statement from Apple about iOS Maps. An of course, they also have the usual recall programs, for things such as faulty batteries, HD and such.

So, FUD much?


Does that change ethical responsibility?
