Cool stuff, this proves it is possible. Let's require it worldwide.
Side loading on thlse bullshit devices has been a EU thing for years.
That's where these rules are coming from. EU made the first move, and countries around the world follows.
It's like this with most laws. But the world depends on the first mover. Right now for everything on consumer protection, it's the EU they look at.
Yes and no. Apple managed to fuck that up using something called "notarized apps". Guess how many apps you can sideload? I think you have more than enough fingers to do that easily.
I have 39 fingers
goddamn, you a damn good pianist brother.
what possibility are you referring to? i only knew about the dev app workaround but you would have to reload the app every 7 days
