I own android devices, however my day to day drivers are my Apple ones. I have never had problems sideloading my apps…have to have a Mac with Xcode, but it is possible.
The worst part of all of this is that the companies that ARE doing sideloading or finding ways around the rules Apple puts forward are the ones that don’t give a single fuck about privacy. Facebook gets a certificate that is only supposed to be for internal testing of apps…decides that they will give preteens $5 a month to let them see everything they do and to funnel all their messages and photos into FB’s databases. VPN companies that are supposed to keep kids from playing videogames more than X amount of hours…all seeming to slurp all the photos from the kids phones and send them so some eastern european country?
There are always ways around the security…and I for one pay the Apple Tax because I want it harder to do this.
