How will your iPhone/iPad users access their apps if you don’t go through the App Store @ajohnsbyfcqf?

Have you considered publishing your app as a web app? [🎉 New Thunkable ✕ PRO Feature: Publish your Project as a Web App 2020-03-11](http://community.thunkable.com/t/new-thunkable-pro-feature-publish-your-project-as-a-web-app-2020-03-11/500455)

Would that be an option in your particular use case?
