My question

Notarizing is different from app review btw, see https://www.macrumors.com/2024/01/25/alternative-app-store-notarization-process/

it only checks if it doesnt have any malware or executable code in terms of security, so i think it could just go well

I doubt Apple would notarize any tweaked apps, as they're copyrighted, and could also be seen as malicious/phishing...

That is just an assumption tho.. someone can just try it, it wont make it suddenly unusable… so whats the problem with the devs trying to look if it even works or not?

We don't want any more attention from YouTube, all the tweak apps already got one DMCA notice for distributing it unofficially YouTube will most certainly get even more upset with us if we try to distribute it semi officially...

Since this is an open source project, couldn’t basically everyone try notarize the app?

I don’t get your point. This project already has repositories for distributing it, also in AltStore. The only difference would be, that the ipa would be notarized, while currently it’s not. If that is the only difference YouTube would have to go after apple. Right?

In the AltStore PAL version you cannot add sources containing not-notarized apps, unfortunately.
