minus-square@BearOfaTime@lemm.eelinkfedilink13•4 months agoIs there really any FOSS on iOS? With the app store cost, and sideloading being so problematic, it makes it much less attractive.

minus-square@ex_06@slrpnk.netlinkfedilink-2•edit-24 months agoIt’s actually “easier” to sustain a FOSS app on Apple for this reason You put a price tag to the client/app and there it is a business model without relying on donation, because the user cannot sideload without being a dev :)
minus-square@BearOfaTime@lemm.eelinkfedilink7•4 months agoHave you ever tried to install non-App Store apps on iOS? Because I have. It’s very limited.
minus-square@ex_06@slrpnk.netlinkfedilink-1•4 months agoNo, because I cannot compile stuff Exactly why I said it’s easier to have people paying on iOS for foss There are no apk to just avoid stores
