According to one of the the GBA4iOS devs, this is not official https://mastodon.social/@rileytestut/112268412745806214

Please proceed with caution if you choose to use this

Well, why has the dev not submitted the official version? That would have fixed that problem.

He wants to release it in his own app marketplace

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

To be honest, I support his own app marketplace completely. But I still don’t understand why he doesn’t want to have it on the Apple AppStore as well.

Would it? This would’ve been released with a different name. App Store, Play Store, or no store, people love to take OSS projects, wrap them in ads, and release them to make a buck.

Sure, but then the official one would also be there and hopefully have a better rating and more popularity

[–] simplejack 2 points 7 months ago

Good point.

That said, the reasons the developer hasn’t released this for the App Store is because he’s a small independent developer and has been trying to ship another project.

Isn't Delta the successor to it? That recently did come out.
