At least in Android it is already the case, I have installed both F-Droid and Huawei's AppGallery in an otherwise stock android. (And prefer to get as much as possible from F-Droid)
Apple on the other hand has a war against "evil" sideloading. :P
- anonymousab 4y ago> At least in Android it is already the case There are roadblocks and deficiencies though, a major one being that sideloaded app stores cannot automatically update their applications, making them permanently inferior and crippled compared to Google's offering.
- IshKebab 4y agoThey're actually fixing that finally (I'm sure it has absolutely nothing to do with Epic's lawsuits...)
- newaccount74 4y agoAlso, some apps from F-Droid are crippled compared to what they can do when downloading from Play Store, eg. the K9 mail app from F-Droid doesn't have support for push email, it can only check at intervals. I don't know what the reason for this is, but the result is that Android is not a truly "open" platform.
