Yes, but app is only usable for 7 days on iOS.
Yes that is annoying - I hate Apple anti side loading stance. But that still doesn't make 100$ fee to apply for distribution/integration with their ecosystem unreasonable.
Your options are either $100/year for "integration with their ecosystem", or your app stops working every 7 days.
It is very unreasonable.

Are you even reading the comments you are replying to, or ?
You need to pay $100 to execute code on a device that you own. Without a 7 day time limit. And only if you have the technical expertise to do so. This is not a fee for distribution/integration. This is feudal rent.
Are you reading what I am saying ? 100$ for distribution access on the store is reasonable. Side-loading prevention is shit. Both can be true at the same time.

Your position wasn't clear to me, at least.
Yes, a world where you can sideload an app on an iOS device, without time limits, but you have still pay $100 to put it on the app store, is a much less shittier world, indeed.
