People can use the Tor network to download Tor Browser, with the aid of a bootstrapping program. (Which can be much simpler than Tor Browser itself - see below.)
If people can't use the Tor network to download a file, then it's unlikely that Tor Browser will work for them.
My reasoning went something like this:
- If we can put Tor Browser in an App Store, people won't need to use an app that downloads Tor Browser
- If an App Store doesn't allow Tor Browser, then people need an app that will download Tor Browser
- Perhaps the App Store will allow an app that can download Tor Browser over the Tor network (this could be as simple as tor, torify, and wget executables, and a GUI frontend)
Well, your reasoning makes sense. I guess we'll have to figure out if we can put something like that in an app store (and in an official account). I'll have it in mind as an option, thanks.
