I've been involved with mods and other shall we say IP-dubious media. You should be safe so long as there's not monetary benefit from it. If there is, however, expect a cease and desist at some point. They *usually* don't ask for damages if you're cooperative, from what I've seen.

Also, you might want to consider just launching on the Play Store first, as that's free iirc. Testing in prod, yay! Feedback will help make a more polished product for when you get enough funds for the Apple store.

It didn’t look like it was free to me. They wanted $25 to even try to get it in there. That is cheaper than the $100 Apple wanted. But yeah, I want people to try it out, so they can tell me what works and what needs worked on. And if they think other ideas need implemented.

Ohhhh, right. I forgot. It's one time and I think I paid it ages ago. Alternative would be to relase the APK on a fan forum, bypassing the store fee. Also more likely to get better feedback, tbh.

That should make it a lot easier, then. afaik, they're not particularly litigious, unlike say, Nintendo. A denied permission/Cease and desist are still likely. Personally, I'd work on it a bit, make sure it's fairly polished and is genuinely cool, then ask permission.
