App Store Release (iOS, iPadOS, tvOS) about retroarch HOT 11 OPEN

Warmenhoven is looking into this. Any further enquiry at this point is not necessary. We will see what happens.

I second this. This would be amazing.

Since retroarch already supports jailbroken iphones its likely a no brainer.

One thing to note you should had labeled this as a [feature request]

First real emulator that has been found.
It functions as you'd expect from an emulator, though the author is shady.
It's just a stolen GBA4IOS.

There was some drama around iGBA and it was pulled, but Delta is up now, and it supports loading any ROM file you can point to in the file browser.

Yes, there was drama.

Riley Testut (the author of the original GBA4iOS and Delta) decided not to launch on the App Store at first and someone forked his old project and released. He later on bitched about it and got Apple to pull iGBA because there were a few assets (images, not code) that was included on iGBA that belonged to him.

Testut then proceeded to launch Delta on the US App Store and exclusively on the US Store. For Europe he decided to show the middle finger to everyone and make it available on the AltStore that is payed.

He's clearly leveraging Delta to get people into his AltStore. This isn't okay and I really hope we get RetroArch into the App Store because 1) is it objectively better and 2) the developers - unlike Testut - are good people.

Thank you.

We don't have any plans for this at the moment, since it doesn't really sound like they're opening the doors to general purpose/BYO-ROMs emus. I believe the author of Yaba Sanshiro has submitted it, so we'll see how that goes and reassess.

Yep looks like emulators with roms are being allowed. So I don’t see why RetroArch wouldn’t be. I just installed iGBA and it works great and you can load your own roms, when you launch it a folder is created you can copy the roms into, or you can launch them from files and it adds to iGBA automatically. There is a C64 emulator too now.

Yes you can also easily sideload on non-jailbroken iDevices by re-signing the binary so it should be trivial. I'll try to re-label the issue, thx.

Edit: Looks like I'm lacking permissions to add labels.

Also, Mac app store would be great too.
Steam bugs out on my mac
