I don’t get it. What’s the point of the repo instead of opening a Feedback with Apple? And what are the sources for the “The Real-World Cost” section? Those seem like made-up numbers.

Also, what’s the point of posting this again so soon?

You’re right — those numbers are illustrative. It’s a hypothetical estimate based on a real-world scenario where a minor install issue (like Gatekeeper rejecting downloads) leads to a non-trivial drop in conversion. Even if it’s just 1% of downloads failing, at a $5 CAC, that’s serious money at scale.

I’m open to better sources — and would love to improve the repo with more concrete stats if anyone has them.
