    Yes and then I’ve to refresh the App every 7 days…

    Or you could pay Apple 98,99€ per year for a developer account (just like you suggest the developer of Delta should do with another account) and sign it for 365 days instead of 7.

    Yeah, that would be a weird thing to do (and expensive), but as I said the emulator itself is completely free and the developer offers a more convenient way to install it in the EU via their own AltStore PAL for a tiny fee.

    If you don’t agree with that, you’re on your own installing this app (well, the non-PAL AltStore actually helps you a lot in the process). The company making sideloading so difficult is Apple. Or you know, just don’t install Delta and move on.

    Even as much as calling the developers’ decision “bullshit” comes off as super entitled. They owe you nothing and get flak for it. There’s nothing wrong with asking the developer in a friendly way if they could publish the app on the EU App Store, but it’s their decision after all.

      Having to install a 3rd party store isn’t, at all, “more convenient” than having Delta on the App Store and buying it for 0.50€.

      You are right, it was a big exaggerated from my part, but still he was the one accepting the “new terms” that brings the CTF and that caused an inequality situation between US and EU users. As Apple says here developers can keep operating under the “old terms” and not be subject to the CTF - the downside is that he wouldn’t be able to launch the AltStore under the same account.
