Getting some Qs about Delta availability, hope this clarifies things!

• Delta is exclusive to AltStore in EU
• Because of Apple’s new dev terms, all downloads in EU cost us €0.50/yr in AltStore PAL *and App Store*…so couldn’t offer Delta in EU App Stores without making it paid
• App Store only supports one-time paid-upfront apps, so we’d have to pick a price that could support ~years of CTFs
• PAL’s €1.50 covers Delta’s CTF
• We’d make everything free everywhere if it wasn’t for the CTF 🙂

@rileytestut can you also clarify why won’t you put delta out of altstore pal and put it in App Store in EU, avoiding ctf?

@piyuv I explained that in the post :) The CTF applies to the App Store too in EU, unfortunately

@rileytestut not if delta isn’t listed in a 3rd party App Store though, right? So if delta is only listed in App Store, and nowhere else, no ctf would apply

@piyuv we already agreed to the new terms in order to launch AltStore, and Apple doesn’t allow going back once you distribute an app on another store (which we already had by the time they changed the App Store rules)

@piyuv (even if Delta isn’t distributed on AltStore, it still costs us €0.50 with new terms)
