If alternate App Stores and direct inatallation of IPA files off the browser was allowed, developers could have the ability to not even use any of Apple's plattform. Hell, I bet that a community-made FOSS SDK to create iOS apps would arrive. Then those devs wouldn't use or distribute any of Apple's IP while developing their apps (besides the Apple devices they already own and use for developement)
- KDTreeHipster 5y agoApple does allow installation of IPA from the browser. There are a few different ways you can do it, from generating a special URL to App Clips. https://developer.apple.com/app-clips/ https://developer.apple.com/app-clips/ That's not the issue. The issue isn't the method of distribution. The issue is being able to get around Apple's sandboxing.
