Even for apps in 3rd party storefronts? I always thought these rules are somewhat relaxed for external publications but perhaps I was mistaken. It’s not like we have proper “side loading” yet.
- idle_zealot 2y agoThese restrictions are enforced by the OS, not Apple's store rules. Even in the EU sideloaded apps can't do these things. It remains to be seen if their hands will eventually be forced, my understanding is that the EC is still working on striking down the Core Technology Fee, and these battles are going to take a while to catch each and every way Apple is trying to retain control of people's phones.
- rbits 2y agoYeah. Even using sideloading before the EU stuff you couldn't use JIT. Altstore (not the EU version) managed to get it working I think, but it was very finicky and I think it doesn't work in newer versions of iOS
- Kwpolska 2y agoJIT will only be allowed for alternate web browsers in the EU.
- idle_zealot 2y agoIf Apple loses the notarization battle then that's impossible. Any app that wants it would be able to request the relevant privileges.
