FOSS app store for iOS? (programming.dev)
submitted 7 months ago by akrz@programming.dev to c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Now that Apple has been forced to allow alternative App Stores, are there already similar stores like F-Droid emerging for iOS?

I recommend looking into SideStore instead. It’s similar to Alta store but you once you installed the SideStore on your iOS device you can manage the other apps without a computer.

That's a good one! Thanks

EDIT: it does require a computer for initialisation EDIT2: it is a fork from the AltStore project. Very interesting!!

It requires a computer to install the Store app. Then you can renew on your phone and install apps without a computer. It also requires a computer is you go let your alt store app expire.
