The peasants are revolting

App developers are defying Apple in record numbers, according to a new coalition of companies aimed at breaking the iPhone maker's tight grip over its mobile software and the way it governs the App Store.

To be fair, The Coalition for App Fairness, was always going to say that. The outfit launched last month and counts as members video-game giant Epic Games, dating company Match Group and music streaming service Spotify, says the original group of 13 companies has grown to 40, and it has received more than 400 requests to join.

Sarah Maxwell, coalition spokeswoman said: "As we bring on new members and hear their stories, it's evident that too many developers have been unable to make their voices heard."

The soaring membership of the coalition represents a remarkable shift in thinking, as companies and individual developers take the risky step of speaking out in an effort to change the way Apple operates.
