Description

I'm not using AltStore or sidestore because I am using only emulators from the App Store and TestFlight. I can't run Saturn, tg16, TGCD, supergrafx, DSI, PCFX, FBNeo and mame arcade games, 32x, sega cd, sg1000, msx, pc98, dos, x68k, intellivision, colecovision, odyssey2, channel f, amiga, c64, Vic-20 and more without RetroArch. It would be nice if RetroArch nightly came to TestFlight and removed flycast and play since those use jit.

Research direction

Start by reviewing RetroArch’s existing arm64 nightly build and iOS distribution process, then identify how TestFlight packaging differs from the current options. Done means a repeatable TestFlight nightly version is available without flycast or play and the excluded cores do not require JIT.
