Delta is on the official iOS App Store for what it’s worth. There are also a couple apps that support watching YouTube with sponsorblock and Adblock available too.

Delta seems to be allowed (at least partially) because of the DMA and the EU.

I'd also love to hear your suggestions on those couple of apps. Last time i checked, proper apps either charge whatever they want to because of their monopolistic position(+ the cost of an Apple Developer Program to a hobbyist) , and free apps unclear if they even solve the problem are designed to harvest and sell almost everything you have.

Orion is a very rare exception in both of these cases but they weren't able to make uBO work

Yeah, that's an important point. Delta on the App Store is most likely a direct result of the Digital Markets Act: https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/5/24122341/apple-app-store-g...
