Is getting f-droid on iOS even possible I know it’s not right now but if work was put into it would it be possible? Obviously this wouldn’t be able to work without a jailbreak which isn’t hard these days especially with checkm8 exploit and various other jailbreaks.

    The F-Droid maintainers take source code for Android applications and build installable packages for Android (.apk-files), so just porting the F-Droid store to iOS wouldn’t be enough.

    All the apps available through F-Droid right now, would not be installable on iOS and you would either have to port all apps individually or instead start packaging existing open-source iOS apps.

    So, basically no, you can’t get it to run on iOS. You would have just about the same amount of work, if you started from scratch.
