Hadn’t heard of iSH before now, but I just downloaded. Seems likely that this will become another example of Streisand effect!

  This is not really an example of that effect. This is just the nature of news. The app won’t somehow become any more used after it’s removed because it’ll be, well, removed.

On the contrary: it can be distributed through TestFlight, and potentially even available in AltStore. If added to AltStore, it would make that platform much more well known. In addition, if users install it from the App Store right now, it's signed and won't disappear or expire after any period of time. AltStore, TestFlight builds, etc., all require routine maintenance to stop from expiring. The iOS App Store release, however, will continue to function indefinitely, even if Apple pulls it from sale.

      > it can be distributed through TestFlight Not for long. There was a post, a couple months ago, by a developer that was screaming about having his developer account permanently banned, because he was using TestFlight as his distribution system.

        > Not for long. Considering iSH has been using TestFlight for 1-2 years and Apple is fully aware of them doing so, I don’t exactly agree with you.

          Fair 'nuff. I'm surprised. I was not aware of the product before this posting.
