Hmmm, maybe people who is not wanting to jailbreak their iphone/ipad/ipodtouch wants to use this emulator without sideloading.

Now that the app store is now fine with emulators such as delta being released few days ago (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/delta-game-emulator/id1048524688), maybe you could release the IPA version of flycast to the app store as long it follows the app store guidelines like delta!

Iphones and ipads would have a good performance in this emulator, A12 bionic (including A12X and A12Z in early face id ipad pros) or higher could be recommended while a minimum could be A8,A8X or A9.

Does Flycast use JIT? If so, then definitely no.

Apple doesnt allow apps that use JIT on the AppStore, due to security concerns

Yes, Flycast definitely requires JIT capabilities to be usable.
