Might be possible to do more (like call private apis) when apps don't need to pass app review.
- TheDong 2y ago"side loading" in the EU still requires you to have your app reviewed and notarized by apple, which means you can't call private APIs. You also still need to pay $100/year developer fee for your app to continue to be side-loadable (otherwise they revoke the notarization), and need to pay the €0.50 "core technology fee" per side-load to apple after a free allowance of side-loads. I doubt it's going to help pebble since they'll have to pay more for users to side-load the app than to install it from the app store. https://doesioshavesideloadingyet.com/ https://doesioshavesideloadingyet.com/
- JaggerJo 2y agoHah, I'm not so sure about what happens during automatic notarisation. Sideloading would at least allow JIT compilation. The fee only applies to alternative app stores, not simple apps.
