What would I do to prevent this?
I was thinking of coding and creating an apllication for the iPhone/Android. If I were to do so, what's the catch? How would I get it on the app store for people to download? Also, how would I make money? Obviously I'm going to do it so it's free to use, when instagram started, how did they make money? It's a free app. Also, last question, how do I make it so big name brands don't steal my idea and put it into their own? Like vine made a 7 second video thing then instagram steals their idea and put it onto their application, I want this to be prevented. Please help, much appreciated!
