Can one not just use Cydia?

• duskwuff 5y ago
  Cydia requires a jailbroken device, which 1) is usually impossible if the device is running an up-to-date version of iOS, and 2) makes the device less secure, making it unreasonable for an organization to require their employees to do.

    (For clarity: the device being jailbroken shouldn't and honestly usually doesn't make it less secure, and in the past we have sometimes been able to fix bugs and patch them to be more secure than stock; but, to be jailbroken means the device was jailbreakable, which is where the core insecurity lies: a jailbreakable device--which is an older device or one running an older operating system version with some unpatched exploit that can be abused--whether or not it has been jailbroken is dangerous to be using, and the jailbreaks have become more limited in their ability to fix these bugs.
