You can sideload apps for free on the Quest and Apple requires a dev account for $99 a year to sideload anything more than a trivial app or two. The Quest definitely feels objectively less locked down than iOS IMHO.
- jhatemyjob 4y agoYep, plus Zuck himself has publicly criticized Apple and said they aren't gonna go down that route. Look at all of the mainstream consoles, PS5, Nintendo Switch, etc: none of them allow you to sideload anything. And Meta even went a step further than that with the semi-unlocked bootloader. That is unprecedented, most Android phones don't even have that. People tend to conflate FAANGs with each other. One bad Apple ruins the bunch.

- Eisenstein 4y agoMaybe this is a way to rid the world of Facebook? Android virus that puts pirated software on Quest devices...

- cwkoss 4y ago> sideload apps for free on the Quest only if you value your time at $0. the amount of time to keep sidequest working and fight official updates breaking it is not trivial.
- MacsHeadroom 4y agoYou don't need sidequest to sideload to a meta headset. You just need the bog standard android adb shell program. >adb install-multiple one.apk two.apk three.apk Done.
