I for one look forward the most to seeing the equivalent of the F-Droid store coming to iOS. Either from the people behind the original F-Droid, or from some group of people with similar ideals like them.

However, I wonder if that will enable apps that corporations don’t want to exist, to exist on iOS. I.e. BitTorrent clients, alternate YouTube frontends that use yt-dlp to play YouTube videos without ads, etc.

The apps still need to be signed with a developer account right? And so Apple will still be able to deny signing certain apps / blacklist those apps when they receive complaints, right?
