Is it sideloading ("installing" whatever you want) or is it alternative stores? The title says sideloading but the article says alternative stores. Even in the EU, they still require notarization on all apps, so in effect everything still has to go through their approval. Sideloading would include apps that Apple would never allow like apps that violate ToS of other services (youtube vanced, grayjay, stuff of that nature).
- grg0 2y agoYup, it's not sideloading. Actual sideloading would be too much freedom for an iphone ecosystem.
- DownrightNifty 2y agoDo you have a source for that?

- DownrightNifty 2y agoSorry, I should've clarified that I was asking about whether you had a source for the claim that this legislation will not allow sideloading. I agree regarding the definition!
- grg0 2y agoI just read the article, which like OP says, talks about third-party app stores and not sideloading. If it's anything like EU regulation, then that'll be that.
- DownrightNifty 2y agoI believe this is the full text of the decision: https://sei.cade.gov.br/sei/modulos/pesquisa/md_pesq_documento_consulta_externa.php?HJ7F4wnIPj2Y8B7Bj80h1lskjh7ohC8yMfhLoDBLddbbVtapRDlsIRSGO8EfHGTjlAvVixwsF8RWAxY7K1lOCwlw9mGBV9xj89bT7n1aVU7T0oE2YGB0rHOHC39OrFWc https://sei.cade.gov.br/sei/modulos/pesquisa/md_pesq_documen... It uses the word "sideloading" and doesn't appear to have carveouts allowing Apple to block apps for "security" like the EU legislation does. But at the end of the day it really just depends on what their legislators are going to allow Apple to get away with, and Apple will probably attempt bare-minimum compliance at least initially, like they did in the EU.
- zipping1549 2y agoWhy? I say this like thousand times but you don't have to sideload anything. It's optional and it always will be.
- B-Con 2y agoTo much freedom for Apple to stomach. Apple despises user freedom. Their whole thing is "use what we gave you and be happy for it". They would never tolerate letting users do something like run any app of their own choosing.
