Unable to reply to Illniyar’s comment below. To add to those points on the difficulty (actually practical impossibility), you’d also need to have access to a Mac to do all those things every seven days. That’s a very big ask, along with the technical know how to use Xcode, for so many people in Hong Kong.
- 3xblah 7y agoDoes anyone know the reason(s) why Apple makes it impractical to sideload?
- toxik 7y agoSide loading is a threat to Apples control over all iOS and similar AppStore devices. If I didn’t want to comply with the very far-reaching requirements for e g in-app stores, I could just ask my users to side load my app. If for example Audible did this, it’d be a real threat.
- Illniyar 7y agoChief among this is the requirement that all in-app purchases have a 30% tax by apple. Which is why you can't buy books in the kindle ios app[0] among others.
