And all the people who defended the lack of sideloading as a security feature will suddenly think it’s a great idea.
They’re gonna say anything to justify whatever bullshit shoved down their asses.
If this turns out to be EU-only, then it’ll be useful for niche apps and ones that aren’t normally allowed (like emulators, third party YouTube apps, and other cool shit), but it won’t be commercially useful for the titans of tech like Google and Meta. Not a bad start.
Hope we get dolphin iOS 🥹 without the hassle
Doubt Apple will allow JIT to run on their specific region sideloading.
The DMA requires Apple to provide access to all hardware and software features required to serve competing apps and services. Browser engines are explicitly mentioned several times, and these require JIT access. It’s going to be interesting to see how they implement that.
I’m really hoping this happens. I’d like to write a few iOS apps for personal use, but I don’t want to pay fees to be a developer.
Hmm, aren’t the costs only for publishing on the app store and you can import an app from your own xcode for free? At least I was under that impression.
You can only install 3 self-signed apps at a time, and they expire after 7 days. It’s meant to make it difficult for anything other than development purposes.
Came here to say that. Expiring every 7 days is too troublesome to be worth it.

Side loading and OS modding would be the only thing that could make migrate.

Brussels Effect. 🇪🇺
Thanks, EU.
Please just let this be a global decision, and not like these companies do with GDPR.
The Brussels effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brussels_effect
Apple May Soon Be Forced To Allow Sideloading Apps on iOS.
“We present you a new, groundbreaking and inovative technology” or some other typical shit Apple does.
