You're listening to the Apple Insider Podcast.

Welcome to this episode of the Apple Insider Podcast. I'm your host Victor and joining me is

William, the wonderful, the one and only, your friend and mine and friend to all mankind,

Gallagher. Okay, just unpacking that.

Ouch.

I'm out of practice with it. Well now I know what you think of me anyway. You went to all the

listeners it's all right it's okay. Now in the last week or so we were talking about how Google and Facebook had completely abused their developer certificates

organizations that were not employees and basically that's that's an abuse of the

rules but there you mean previously on Apple Insider Podcast Google and Facebook do?

And these applications offer services

from, let's say, adult content to gambling.

And because they're distributing through the enterprise certificate program, they don't have to comply with App Store rules, which would have instantly rejected them.

Presumably, they have to qualify to get enterprise certificate. I mean, I've sold you before I'm a developer and I don't know what you need to be enterprise everyone because I don't need it so I've never looked but you know they needed my bank account details and things to prove I was who I was.
