> Well, no. > The free option is to install AltStore... I'm confused. You've just re-stated what you already said. When I said "only option", I was referring to the fact that the only way to run my own code without spending $100/year is to jump through hoops that still result in scenarios where I can't travel without bringing my dev laptop with me (which is generally not the computer I travel with). > If you travel for work, I imagine your laptop goes with you. And if you're writing iOS/iPadOS code on a work laptop, presumably you've got a developer certificate. But again, this misses the point. That point being that I, as a tinkerer, cannot run my own code on my own device without bringing an App Store Server with me or spending $100/year. Yes, that's Apple's policy and that's well known. Doesn't mean anyone I have to like it or find it acceptable.
