FOSS app store for iOS?

Now that Apple has been forced to allow alternative App Stores, are there already similar stores like F-Droid emerging for iOS?

not happening this soon. as Apple is complying by malicious compliance. alternative app stores are bound to some idiotic rules.
These guys have been around for a little while: https://altstore.io/
- I recommend looking into SideStore instead. It’s similar to Alta store but you once you installed the SideStore on your iOS device you can manage the other apps without a computer.
  
  That's a good one! Thanks
  
  EDIT: it does require a computer for initialisation EDIT2: it is a fork from the AltStore project. Very interesting!!
- It's not really the same though. It's reliant on a host PC.
  
  Yep - that's because Apple has not released a stable way to create alternative app stores. Developpers still have to find roundabout ways to offer an alternative store. I am sure they will adapt as soon as they can get a stable stand-alone app working in the apple ecosystem
