I think most (myself included) are just advocating for Apple to allow side-loading. They can keep their app store intact. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc._v._Pepper https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc._v._Pepper for more about an ongoing case
- wonderlg 6y agoYou mean installing apps via your less-safe computer? Browsers used to allow any software to side-load extensions and you know how that went: They all moved to store-only installs because all kinds of software were able to affect the browsers. Same way for side-loading apps to your phone. Sure it’s more difficult than just tapping something on the web, but it doesn’t mean it’s safe for the end user.
