No, like apps that don't get approved in the app store. Like some cool springboard replacement, or an ssh client.

FWIW, I have a few ssh clients on my iPhone (Termius, Prompt, iTerminal) that came from the App Store. Termius even offers mosh. Why wouldn't they be approved?


They didn't used to allow them for some arbitrary reason. It was just an example of something I might want that might not get approved.


When did they not allow SSH apps? I remember using an AppStore SSH app on a first gen iPad about when it came out.


I bought Panic's Prompt for my iPhone 3G. I don't ever recall a time they weren't allowed.


There are an infinite number of apps that can be made that aren’t ‘cool springboard replacements’.

Why is that even remotely important?


They were just examples or things that won't get approved that I might want to install.
