This impacts Android and Windows too.

Nothing to do with Apple.

You can't sell telephony software in China as a Western company directly anymore. Not matter how.

Those platforms can download the software from other sources trivially, so the lack of presence in an app store isn't nearly the problem it is on iOS.

I imagine they're blocked at the GFW level so download away, it still won't work.
