In the EU, different engines are allowed. If that's what you mean. There is an entitlement specifically for that, see: https://developer.apple.com/support/alternative-browser-engi...

Yeah, that's what a meant. Apple "allowed" them but they tied a boatload of requirements to that and I don't think anyone has actually applied yet.

Yeah including a really high cost per download. That will really discourage FOSS efforts :(

And can be developed only in Europe too.

Oh yeah good point. I forgot about that stipulation. They really try to make it as difficult as possible.

I don't think we'll see firefox with gecko on iOS any time soon.
