Does Cydia etc no longer exist?

  That requires jailbreaking the device, which may or may not be possible depending on the device and the version of iOS it's running. Recently there was a bootrom exploit called checkm8 that made possible "tethered" jailbreaks to be created for a large range of devices. But even that works only till iPhone X (and not on newer devices), and the jailbreak (if/when available) would have to be done every time the device is restarted.

  If you jailbreak you also usually have to run on an older iteration of the OS and have to wait before updating. It's not really a very attractive option. Signing up as developer, paying the fee and building the app yourself is probably the better option. Even if you have to rebuild it every xx days.
