In response to all those complaining about no competing browsers on IOS. Why doesn't someone compile chromium for ios and then publish it using AltStore?

IOS requires all native code be signed so JIT wouldn't work. It would be a possibility on a jailbroken device, but someone would have to make a port.

Isn’t that the whole point of AltStore? Apple certainly didn’t sign the GameBoy emulator available on AltStore.

The problem in this case is effort. It’s not that easy to port a browser effectively.
