- asddubs 6y agodoesn't the xbox have a way to sideload apps?
- ribosometronome 6y agoXbox's Dev Mode is a bit complicated and limits a lot of functionality of the console. I think there's a good argument that it's actually easier and less limiting to side load an app using Cydia Impactor, Xcode or AltStore with an iPhone.
- pjmlp 6y agoIt allows to sideload UWP apps, however that just basically means you are running WinRT in a lightweight version of Windows on XBox hypervisor. This is not how XBox games developed with XDK are actually developed and they can see all the hardware, instead of being into a UWP sandbox. It is more to cater to indie devs as means to get something into the XBox similar to XNA used to allow, it is not meant for proper XBox games as such. Also it hasn't been updated for a while.
