Sanctioned Russian banks distribute their apps as self-updating apks. It's much, MUCH worse with iOS — Tinkoff tried publishing an innocuous-looking app that turns into their usual bank app after you open a "secret" deeplink for example. Two things are problematic, though: 1) app stores got normalized as a way to distribute apps to the point of people being afraid to sideload, and 2) the fact that you can't distribute an iOS app without Apple's permission is utterly bonkers.
