            Apple isn’t gatekeeping like they used to. You’d be surprised how much they’ve relaxed over the past 5 years.

              That’s called Protectionism for infant industries. Apple choked every app and company in the beginning. Even now you can’t install another sms app, there is no proper file system, you still can’t sideload apps, etc…
