Now, clicking on a link to Bimmy shows “This app is currently not available in your country or region.” This time, it wasn’t Apple that removed it but the developer. Over on MacRumors’ forums, the developer said it pulled the app “out of fear.” “No one pressured me to, but I got more nervous about it as the day went on,” it wrote.

If those emulator is open source, can user build and install themselves ? or they have to wait for some dev to put it in the store (and pay Apple $99 yearly) and charge fee and/or ads.

You can build it yourself but that requires a Mac and you have to resign it every seven days which is a pain.
