Ingenious!
What if a security incident happens just in Europe but not elsewhere?
Then it becomes instantly clear that Apple’s argument against sideloading was not a strawman.
- tigrezno 3y agohasn't happened on android with sideloaded apps. Stop fearmongering.
- vultour 3y agoAndroid has so much malware in the play store the argument is moot.
- xenonite 3y agoAndroid is another system, and yes, there have been breaches. Lets say it like that, and I know I am simplifying quite a bit: Apple checks security at "compile time", during the App Store checks. Android checks security only (or mostly?) during "run time". "Compile time" can give good guarantees because the "compile time" can quite long. Then, during program execution, there need to be less run time checks (and a program can be much faster, by the way). What do you think happens when allowing sideloading on Apple iOS devices? Suppose there are much less run time checks available because compile time checks are expected?
