c/asklemmy · by Siathes@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1yAny Lemmings (game) app suggestion for iOS preferably something indie or FOSS rather than Sony ? Just got an itch to play lemmings-esque games on my tablet. Trying to convert things I do and like to foss versions. 29 points · 12 comments · view on lemmy.world

Is there really any FOSS on iOS?
With the app store cost, and sideloading being so problematic, it makes it much less attractive.

There is. Look at openstreetmap for example, or Audiobookshelf, there is a lot.

It’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 :)

Have you ever tried to install non-App Store apps on iOS?
Because I have. It's very limited.

No, 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

looks like someone missed what the F stands for

Free as in freedom not just as in beer
And paying for distribution is not the same as paying for the software…

and apple's ecosystem doesn't provide that either by making non dev sideloading extremely difficult.

I’m not sure I’m explaining myself well enough.
That was my point since the beginning and you are not the first one repeating it lol

I've played Rabbit Escape but looks like it's only for android and pc
