Help/Support Future of iOSGods with the Digital Markets Act?

Enrageder · July 20, 2022

Since the Digital Markets Act passes, what will the fate of iOS Gods+? Since the app is built on the premise of allowing for a prolonged certificate, and now the possibility of no revokes is present, would that not mean other app stores are more viable? The idea of the app was to have a compact appstore experience of tweaked applications as well as a signer, but it is blocked off by a paywall. Since the Act would nullify a private certificate, that would mean that other stores would gain more notoriety because of the free accessibility, and there are other signers such as Altstore, which would surge in popularity. Although iOS Gods+ has no ads, it really isn’t too distracting in general. I want to know what would become of this app if Apple is forced to allow for competing app stores.

Hey!

I think right now it’s too soon to say anything as to what will happen and how it would look like.

However, iOSGods will be ready for any improvements and changes made by DMA.

Also keep in mind that we do not only have iOSGods App+.

Is that something in the US? Or is it somewhere else?

Digital Markets Act was recently passed which will possibly force Apple to allow for competing app stores (ie. third party tweaked stores) and no its passed by the EU.

Correct, It was that the DMA would address “gatekeeping” third party stores. Considering the separate iOS Gods ViP and ViP Pro subscriptions, it is entirely possible to transition the iOS Gods App+ to a semi ad-monetized app with only the most coveted tweaked apps barred behind a pay wall. This is reminiscent of the “NOT ALLOWED!er” and “TTA No Advertising!” (each with their own VIP counterparts) stores in the mid 2010’s. The best thing that iOS Gods has going is its high quality, feature filled tweaked apps. I really like how the tweaked apps are quickly updated and have better tweaks and features (like cheat engine and iGameGod), which sets iOS Gods apart from the rest of the stores that are offshored and mildly suspicious. I just don’t want to see this website die, so I am curious of the changes that would be implemented once the act is enforced. Thank you.

I don’t think it will change for the negative, by the sounds of it, it would make sites like iOSGods.com more able to do what they do

Yeah but heres the thing. Other appstores have very low quality apps (not many tweaks, lower versions) but they have a large quantity of those low quality apps. iOS Gods does the opposite, where the app store has a moderate amount of very high quality apps. People tend to pick quantity over quality, so those appstores will likely be chosen. They are also riddled with adverts, redirects, and popups, but its free, so people bear with it. Additionally, the certificates are garbage as they expire quickly, but again, its free. In theory, this would be a possibly large blow to iOS Gods app+ because of the aforementioned. It’s just a general concern on my end for the future of this website.
