App downloads through websites don't need to go through app review. The developers have some requirements that restrict it to profit-making developers though, see my other comment.

    It’s a less stringent review process than the App Store, but apps distributed outside of it will have to be “notarized”: https://www.macrumors.com/2024/01/25/alternative-app-store-notarization-process/.
