RIP your app on iOS if you remove it from the app store.

There is very little an iPhone user can do if their phone isn't rooted.

How about: one developer puts a "launcher app" in the App store, and all the other developers use that to launch their apps?

And how about: one developer creates a web-browser with some features that will make it start fast on certain web-apps that don't use javascript but only wasm, while other developers create apps for that browser?

Having an alternative web engine is also against the rules. No I don’t agree with that rule.
