Because this is a technical forum, and we all know that this isn't how any of this works.
- khazhoux 3y agoIt is entirely plausible that iOS cannot remove all the security restrictions that would be necessary for a useful sideloading, without exposing attack vectors.
- dubyah 3y agoThere's an astounding amount of FUD against any prospect of side loading apps for such a supposedly technically oriented community here.
- wruza 3y agoSideloading means that apps can (and will) migrate from appstore to other store with relaxed taxes, privacy and security, and all users will face app serp hijacking and permission extortion. Not only those who want their android experience on iphone for some bizarre reason.
- rad_gruchalski 3y agoI would love to hear some ideas about how it could be implemented without jeopardizing the security. A technical analysis, without words like "probably", "maybe". I'm fairly technical and ready to be enlightened.
