Is it possible for the average user to install this outside of the app store? Or do you need a rooted phone for that?

  If the code is open source one could compile it and run it directly on their device. But they would need a Mac to build the code on Xcode.

    Don't you also need some sort of developer license to side-load apps like that?

      You can get a free developer account which will let you sign an app for 7 days. You just have to redo it every week.

  Impossible in the Apple ecosystem without jailbreaking your device. Which hasn't been viable for at least 6 years.

  It's possible with an enterprise distribution certificate. There are "fake" app stores that distribute pirated apps, they are particularly common in Asia, and I believe many "average" users use them. Apple can shuts them down by revoking the certificates, but it seems to reduce the visibility, and therefore extend the time that they can work for.
