Being excluded from the store doesn't mean your code cannot run. It just means people have to want to jump over more hoops to run it. Ultimately, it might mean $99 for a developer account, Xcode, and signing your own binary. Contract law covers how you get the code to compile.

I only say this because there is no sense in pretending this is an absolutist position, that Apple has forbade their CPUs from executing instructions in sequence to the effect this or any other rejected app direct: what they stopped is making it transactionally easy, or chargeable under their model of revenue flow.

This app was also rejected from EU alternative app stores (which is illegal BTW), so the only way to get it would be something like the classic AltStore, which requires a real computer, and allows only three apps to be installed, and the apps expire every 7 days. https://faq.altstore.io/how-to-use-altstore/your-altstore
You can use sideloadly my friend. No need of a computer after first installation of sideloadly itself.
Doesn't that require root/jail break?
in iOS?
