Description:
While it is mentioned in the Help of LO 7.6 ( link below) that the Impress Remote App is available for Apple Devices ( iPad , iPhone), it does not show up searching in the Apple App store ( Like it does in the Google Play Store). 

https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/simpress/guide/impress_remote.html?DbPAR=IMPRESS#bm_id180820171850105346

It can be confirmed on any iPhone or iPad via the app store -> Impress Remote app does not show up however you search for it ( “Libre Office Remote for Impress” , “Impress Remote” , “LibreOffice Impress Remote” etc.). The app does not show up and hence cannot be installed. The manual page above at the very bottom of the page has a link to "iTunes store" and shows an apple store page where this app seems to be listed. This information in the documentation appears to be outdated. 

As LibreOffice is available for both Windows and iOS, it will be very helpful if the Impress Remote App is also restored in the apple app store.

Thanks

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use an iPhone or IPad
2. Open the App Store
3.  Search for the impress remote app using terms like “Libre Office Remote for Impress” , “Impress Remote” , “LibreOffice Impress Remote” 


Actual Results:
The app does not show up and hence cannot be installed on the iPhone or iPad

Expected Results:
The Impress Remote App must show up in the List of Apps that can be installed from the App Store


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
The mention in the documentation page to the app being on the iTunes store should also be updated after app is restored in the app store.

My bug has joined another old bug on the same topic which, it appears, has been enjoying residence in BugZilla since March 2023 and continues to remain a BugZilla citizen. I wonder what the two bugs must be talking about now they are in each others company?

Jokes apart, I consider the impress remote a great feature and if LibreOffice works on iOS, so should the impress remote. The documentation also says that there is an app for iOS. While I understand that resources and time are scarce and there must be good reason that this issue remains unresolved, I do hope this excellent feature is restored in the apple app store.    

Many thanks to the Impress team for their efforts and I keenly look forward to seeing new features appear in Impress in the coming time. 

Cheers
