Our response to Apple's statement on Hot Tub
Apple is claiming we made false statements about the approval of Hot Tub. This is not true. All apps distributed with AltStore PAL must be submitted to Apple for “notarization.” Unlike macOS, iOS notarization involves a human-review process where Apple employees manually review apps before they are “approved” or “rejected” for distribution (in Apple’s own words). Unfortunately, Apple has rejected several apps from our store in the past for dubious reasons, so the phrase “Apple-approved” in our marketing is a reference to the fact that Hot Tub was approved, not rejected, by Apple for notarization. To be perfectly clear, Apple has not endorsed Hot Tub in any way. However, they did approve it.
