The Mac App Store isn’t for today’s Mac developers
Appeal to iOS developers
Much of what made the App Store so compelling to developers will begin to apply to Mac software with the Mac App Store:
* Most Mac owners will be encouraged from prominent places on their Macs to buy apps. The potential audience is huge, and will be much easier to reach.
* Payment processing will be much simpler.
* Software websites won’t need nearly as much functionality.
* Two of the most common support issues for desktop software vendors — installation support and serial-number issues — will almost completely disappear.
