PSA: One can still distribute and allow installation of full open source HTML5 apps that can work offline and use a smattering of device APIs, without having anything to do with Apple’s app store, developer accounts, or signing.
Sure, it’s not a ‘native binary’, but for all kinds of utilities, both offline and online, that’s not really a problem.
Some big companies even use a web technology approach on purpose for a variety of reasons despite distributing through the app store. Slightly less ‘buttery’ feeling but generally not terrible.
