#194658 — What does $0 zero dollars mean in Apple app store terminology?

I have an app that I just noticed says I can buy it for 0 dollars.
 <https://i.postimg.cc/pdNq0Z0G/LANDRIVE-10.jpg> buy for $0.00

What does that even mean?

In normal operating systems, there's no concept of "purchasing" a
zero-dollar app, as that would just be called a free app (as in beer).

You don't purchase a free app.
You just install it.

But Apple has this concept of purchasing everything, I guess.
Even free apps.

But I've downloaded free apps before on the App Store.
And I don't remember it being called a zero-dollar app.

But this seemingly has a purchase price that I can "buy" it at.
But what does that blue 0-dollar button even mean in Apple parlance?

In this instance?

It means you're looking for something to deflect from the fact that you 
were wrong on your precious "facts" from your first post on the subject.

My guess is that although the app itself is free, the upgrade is classed as
an in-app purchase (by the developer) so you have to "pay". The developer
has (now) chosen the upgrade fee to be £0. 

I've just upgraded my install to the ad-free and unrestricted speed version
for £0.

It is free but to simplify the web site uses $0 and the same program to 
process the order.

It means exactly what it says.  The upgrade is free.

iOS is a normal operating system.  It is Unix. Can't get any more normal than
that.

While I appreciate your saying that it's a normal thing for an upgrade to
be free, I've been using computers since anyone here, and I haven't seen
that before. I've seen free apps. And I've seen upgrades that cost money.

Anyway, I'll try the upgrade and see what happens, although I don't have a
credit card on any device so I'm not sure if it will even allow me that
privilege without giving away all my privacy first. Time will tell.

(I find it hilarious that iOS is the least private operating system on the
planet, and yet, Apple touts that it's privacy oriented. It's all lies.)

As for iOS being "normal UNIX", Chris & Tyrone already proved last week
that iOS is anything but normal UNIX when it comes to privileged ports.

It is very secure.

Um, I am Tyrone. 

And there is no law about "privileged ports". Companies are free to do
whatever they want. Android could easily be doing this also.  Which would mean
that you would be no longer hung up about "privileged ports".

We've had these discussions on this newsgroup so many times I can't count,
where "privacy" & "security" are completely different things in reality.

It's a fact that no mobile operating system has more exploits day in and
day out than does iOS, so for anyone to claim iOS is secure, is absurd.
 <https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog>

Likewise, it's even more absurd for anyone to claim iOS is more "private"
than Android, given you can't even run any privacy based tools on iOS.
    <https://support.torproject.org/tormobile/tormobile-3/>
    "Can I run Tor Browser on an iOS device? Apple requires all
     browsers on iOS to use something called Webkit,
     which prevents any iOS browser from having the same privacy
     protections as Tor Browser." 

Anyone who claims iOS is more secure or more private than Android knows
absolutely nothing about iOS or Android - as it's Apple's really big lie.

Oh. Yeah. I don't even L@@K at the headers since I don't use a newsreader.
All I see is the original message in gvim on Windows due to my scripts.
The only way I know whom I'm replying to is if I look at the attribute.

Sorry about that. I actually thought it was Zaidy I was responding to.

In fact, I'm *happy* that, for once, iOS is better'n Android in something.

You don't know how ecstatic I am that I can sit at the PC and from the PC,
I can copy files back & forth between iOS & Windows using the command line.

What I don't understand yet is the iOS share appears as a drive letter on
the Windows command line - but it doesn't show up as a drive in the Windows
file explorer. It would be fantastic if the share showed up in the GUI.

I never said I was a networking expert.
I have no idea why it's a drive letter on the command line but not the GUI.

Does anyone have any idea why not?
-- 
It's no longer shocking how little people know about iOS since all they
know are the big lies that Apple tells them - but they know nothing of iOS.

That is obvious.

Because you are doing it wrong.

> Does anyone have any idea why not?

Because you are using
net use \\ipaddress\share /user:name password.  

You need a drive letter in there.  I DO THIS ALL THE TIME.

I ALREADY explained this to you in the "How do nonroot" thread. Stop making
this absurd claim. Of COURSE you can map it as a drive letter.  I AM DOING IT
ALL THE TIME. 

net use D: \\ipaddress\share /user:name password.  

You have to ASSIGN a drive letter for it to appear in Windows File Explorer. 
I DO THIS ALL THE TIME. It is NOT "imaginary functionality".

Even better, tell me how to do it right(ly).

Naaah. That was just a typo on my part. 
But I can see how you might have interpreted that typo as gospel.
It's not. It's just a typo. 

I *always* typed the drive letter, and the screenshots I posted prove it.

See above. It was a typo. Don't get so angry about a mere typo in Usenet.
:)

The drive letter was typed. I posted those screenshots already many times.
You gotta look at the screenshots before you get mad. Then you can get mad. 
:)

> You have to ASSIGN a drive letter for it to appear in Windows File Explorer. 
> I DO THIS ALL THE TIME. It is NOT "imaginary functionality".

Yeah. But you're so focused on the typos you don't understand the question. 
:)

When I use "net use drive:" with WebDav servers, it shows up in the GUI.
When I use "net use drive:" with SMB servers (so far), it does not.

The question is why not?

The question is, why do you keep claiming it does not when it clearly does? 
You WERE claiming that the iOS SMB server was impossible. You WERE claiming
that the Files app does not work.  So your track record is not exactly great.
 

AGAIN, why don't you try mapping the drive from Windows File Explorer? Under
Computer, Map Network Drive, Map Network Drive.   A Dialog box will come up. 
Pick a drive letter. Enter the path \\ipaddress\share (or \\servername\share).
  You will then be prompted for the login name and password. 

If you claim it still does not create a drive letter in Windows File Explorer,
then you are just being your normal self again. A lying, sick troll. Because
this works for literally billions of people, and has worked for 30 years. 

THIS IS STANDARD WINDOWS NETWORKING. It works just fine. That YOU claim it
does not is totally meaningless.  
Just like your totally meaningless claims about iOS SMB Servers and the iOS
Files app.

You didn't have to say it at all since it's blatantly obvious to those
of us who know about the topic. 🤣

Isn't it amazing how something SO basic and simple like Windows SMB networking
- that works for billions of people every day - "does not work" for Arlen when
iOS is involved.

He doesn't know what he's doing, and can't figure basic networking out
on his own.

We did no such thing. Why lie so obviously?

Lies and schoolyard insults are all he has in his trollbag. It's really
pathetic. 😉

Privileged ports work differently with iOS than with Android & Unix.
You proved that yourself. So did Tyrone. And so did I. We all did.

For you to now claim that's a "lie" is rather odd, Chris, is it not?
(Did you buy too many arguments this week?)

BTW, did you see my public apology to the Windows newsgroup yet?

You don't understand that "Unix" is NOT a single operating system, doofus.

There are VARIATIONS.

And it's not a core part of any Unix that ports from 0-1024 are privileged.
