      I wanna create my own system software, but as easier as ios. Now the question: Is it possible, to import the App Store or Play Store into my own system and download the apps?

        I would highly encourage you to start with a smaller project. First, try to create a useful app and get Apple to accept it to be in the AppStore. Doing this will provide a useful introduction to digital signatures which will be essential to understanding why building an alternative system software that is compatible with AppStore apps will be a massive technical (and legal) challenge.

          @ccc that is only a idea with the system software nothing I do right now. But I‘m interested in, if it is possible with Pythonista, to do that. I don‘t want to use the Apple Store at first. Only as idea, is that possible with other apps, for example google or a game etc.? ANd with the own app in the app store, do I need a developer account for that?

            To put an app in Apple's AppStore, you need to be in their developer program.

            Maybe look at https://github.com/Pythonista-Tools/Pythonista-Tools especiallyGames.md a model for how to create and distribute Pythonista-based apps without putting them in Apple's AppStore. https://github.com/ywangd/pythonista-tools-installer is an installer that allows non-technical users to download those games, etc.

              @ccc ok thanks, for my understanding: it‘s possible to share skripts with other who have pythonista too? With the github links: Must I download it, or is only the text important?

                If all the code fits into a single file then only the text is important and copy and paste is sufficient.

                If the program is made up of multiple files (.py, .txt, .jpg, .png, .pyui) it is often easier to use other techniques.
