I said it was a 'usermode Linux "terminal" emulator', never said it was a VM or anything like that. IIRC the dev said he also wasn't allowed to publish it to the App Store and I assume it falls under the same catagory of "not allowed" in Apple's eyes as UTM would've had.

It's a full x86 emulator.

He didn't, it's just never been tested whether it could be on the store or not.

Actually, someone compiled it, added ads, and put it on the App Store. Not sure if it is still there, but it got through approval.

Oh, that happens all the time. The real test is when the official app gets approved and stays on the App Store.
