Yep! When the _state_ and _action_ are intermixed it becomes ambiguous. This is one of may things we lost in the war on skeumorphism. The skeumorphic interfaces could mix both more clearly, using shading and texture and "lights" t

But from my perspective sideloading is not necessarily a separate on-device store. An on-device store would be equivalent to Steam which first need to be installed on the device for example via the regular iOS App Store or sideloading or an
