As a developer based in the EU, of course I want to be able to sign on to Apple's new business terms and access the hard-won benefits of the DMA (like external distribution).
But there’s no way I ever would with the specter of a CTF hanging over, even if I never build an app that hits 1M annual downloads.
[@rileytestut](https://mastodon.social/@rileytestut) tried to convince me to build something for AltStore, and I've had several huge Cydia-distributed projects in the past. But Apple's new business terms are currently a no-go
