Trying to get Widevine going on iOS / macOS has been a royal pain in the ass so far (crashes when you touch the lib while having a debugger attached, so you can't even debug your own code unless you swap in a severely castrated development version that only works on the simulator) and Google guards access to the official libs and docs like it's the precioussss.

To me this is just one of the many developer hostile steps I've seen. I understand they don't want you to access illegal content too easily but honestly the only thing that could drive me back to Torrenting is the declining quality of content on Netflix & co.
