Right, and so on platforms where sideloading is allowed doesn't it make sense to restrict the ways in which apps might be able to see the screen contents of other apps, for the benefit of the user?
It's the same justification in both cases: ensuring the user's data stays private. I would prefer no screenshots over no sideloading if those are the only options.
- ericmay 6y agoSure, but iOS users such as myself prefer no side loading, primarily because I see no reason to side load any applications.
- shawnz 6y agoHave you considered that even though you don't need it now, you could at any time in the future have some kind of disagreement with Apple about what kind of apps should be allowed on iOS (consider the Fortnite issue for example) and by that point, vendor lock-in would make it impractical to change platforms?
- ericmay 6y agoSure it’s possible, although it appears to be unlikely. But in the worst case I can go without a phone. Fortnite was a great example of how the platform > any single app. I sided with Apple completely.
