Is it a third-party app store if Apple decides what it’s allowed to offer?

Apple and it’s policies can feck off

However, as it stands, UTM is not proceeding to contest the ruling. As apps distributed on iOS cannot use a JIT compiler (other than specially entitled alternative browser engines), the functionality and performance of the emulators running through UTM SE, the version submitted for review that had JIT disabled, was significantly impaired. UTM says getting UTM SE approved “isn’t worth fighting for”.

Oh. Well okay then.

@neme I like how the devs were like “eh, it’s not even that good of an app, whatever”

Ok.
