It’s in the App Store, for one.

is that really valid here? i-sh is on testflight, the intersection of cant figure out testflight and can use a terminal must be pretty low.

Isn't there an upper limit on the number testflight users?

Yes, 10,000. iSH is also distributed as an IPA that you can sign and install.

Do you need a paid apple developer account to sign and install it?

You can sign it with a free developer account, but I believe that you have to re-sign every 7 days as opposed to every year with a paid developer account.

i can use a terminal and didn't know testflight even existed... so there's at least one.

Testflight builds expire after 90 days, appstore apps live forever.

When you don't want to run everything through a slow emulator

I thought it said you can install additional packages with pip? That said, iSH has been very fun to play with (and even useful a couple times).

iSH is unusably slow to use it for editing with vim.

A-Shell is basically a fully functional "vim in iOS" and serves as my default iOS text editor.
