AltStore: An alternative app store for non-jailbroken iOS devices
I absolutely love that people work on this kind of stuff, but it all feels like an incredibly hacky workaround (running a server to reinstall an app every 7 days...) for functionality that should really be present out of the box (install whatever software you please on hardware you paid a ton of money for) :-(Apple's insistence on refusing users control of their devices is why I switched to Android for my phone years ago (though I will be overjoyed once GNU/Linux on phones reaches enough maturity to replace Android for me as well, though I sadly don't see that happening very soon).This is truly a shame - I am not part of the extreme FOSS crowd who would only ever be satisfied with a top-to-bottom free device, and in fact I would happily use an iPhone if iOS was even just as "open" as macOS.
