Hi :) I agree but this "Gateway" thing is a recent development. LO is not the only app suffering from this problem and hopefully someone will find an answer to it at some stage = not necessarily a LibreOffice person. The current answer is just a work-around until a better answer can be made more permanent.
At the moment you either pay money to Apple and thus get into their App Store (and thus get a green-light when people try to install) or they treat you with contempt, give your app the red-light and claim your app is unsafe. Hopefully some "orange light" scenario might be fought for and LO might fit in with that. Otherwise ALL apps are going to have to charge money (and set up some sort of tracking system or just charge every user every time and for every "upgrade" or "update")! Since all other OSes allow people to install apps for free i can't imagine Apple users staying happy with all this.
