Xogot – Godot for iPad

I am a bit surprised Apple allows it.

I am not really familiar with the apple ecosystem, but my understanding is that they frown on open execution environments, that is emulators, virtual machines, interpreters etc. and a system that lets anyone develop and load games sounds like just that.

Programming languages (IDEs) were always allowed as long as the code couldn't be downloaded from the internet. Local or cloud load/save is OK. An user copying it manually using a clipboard from a web page is OK as that's user doing. But direct downloading was a no-no. This was explained as to prevent any application from becoming AppStore-like.

There are some tricks, like using curl | sh approach by the user for UNIX-like environments, or similar things for Python IDEs. But again it is something that the user have to do and learn about it from an outside source.
