Possible workaround coming. Have to strip out all store functionality and be a pure mirroring app.

Yeah i’d Heard that they’d removed the store in a beta a while back...so frustrating.

Very frustrating

Reading things like this really does make me think twice about jumping ship from android to Apple!! I don't understand why anyone would believe the restrictions Apple place on their customers is a good thing I get that some like to be guided and helped with their decision making but this is a bit much.

Why would Apple want a competitor on their own platform which doesn't make them money? Crazyness.

Looks like they've managed to release it to the world for iOS and ATV

So pleased to hear this, can imagine really using this quite a bit for indie games sitting on the settee.
