Sideloading apps on iOS

[Timothée Giet]

Hi,

Sadly, that is not the only blocker to allow distributing an iOS version 
of GCompris.
First, the way they "comply" to the rule is still very convoluted in 
many ways, and specific to EU countries, so I doubt that point is 
actually solved for us.
Second, as far as I know, in any case building an iOS package requires 
to embed some proprietary components inside the package, which is also 
not compatible with our license.
Third, there might be other blockers, but we won't investigate further 
as long as the 2 previous points are still valid.

Regards,

Timothée
