    This article vaguely hints but doesn’t actually say anywhere that this is for iOS apps

        It says “alternative app store”, not “alternative iOS app store”, “alternative to Apple’s App Store” or even “alternative App Store”. The term “app store” is used pretty generally nowadays, there’s no implication in the title that it’s even talking about mobile apps!

          You’re 100% correct. I spent too long looking for the same info.

          Just the term “app store” with no caps can mean any application repository - Shopify has an app store, FB has one, Blackberry used to have one, Apple technically has 2, etc. There’s even a wiki entry for the term without caps.
