Now that Apple has been forced to allow alternative App Stores, are there already similar stores like F-Droid emerging for iOS?
These guys have been around for a little while: https://altstore.io/
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
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.
It’s not really the same though. It’s reliant on a host PC.
Yep - that’s because Apple has not released a stable way to create alternative app stores. Developpers still have to find roundabout ways to offer an alternative store. I am sure they will adapt as soon as they can get a stable stand-alone app working in the apple ecosystem

Not that fast, by Apple’s rules a 3rd party store offering what AltStore offers could be banned in no time. Besides the costs.
Agreed
not happening this soon. as apply is complying but malicious compliance. alternative app stores are bound to some idiotic rules.
