You can already sideload on iOS (with no jailbreak) - it is admittedly janky though. I sideload a YouTube Vanced - like app on all my devices

- judge2020 6y agoTo clarify, side-loaded apps are only signed with a certificate valid for 7 days if you're on a regular, non-developer Apple account. If you pay $99/yr for the developer account, that is increased to 1 year. There are workarounds being worked on for this - one being AltStore [1] (does not allow arbitrary IPAs yet). You can also sideload on Windows/Linux with Cydia Impactor[0] - on Mac you can use either impactor or xcode/CLI tools to sign IPAs. 0: http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/ http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/ 1: https://altstore.io/ https://altstore.io/
- valuearb 6y agoYou can also use the enterprise program to distribute up to 10,000 copies duectly (might actually be more now).
- tech234a 6y agoA few minor corrections: AltStore does allow sideloading arbitrary IPAs, even on the non-Patreon version, and IIRC Cydia Impactor is currently broken for free accounts.
- jjcon 6y agoAltStore isn’t really just a workaround at this point and yes you can install any random ipa - you can even add new sources to install from
- anfilt 6y agoYou basically need to build the program yourself and it only works for 7 days. Also good luck loading anything like an alternative OS.
- jjcon 6y agoJust use AltStore - automatically refreshes your apps so they never expire and you can install an ipa just like an Android apk (and again no jailbreak required)
