Don't you also need a developer license? So that's like an additional $8/month subscription to sideload on iOS.

Or I could be wrong ๐Ÿคท

Users make abhorrent weird workarounds for that, like running a PC software that uses a free temporary developer license to re-license an app on your phone, that then uses that license to resign other apps ""automatically""

Not quite. You can use your free apple ID for temporary self-signing. But this cert is only valid for 7 days and can sign up to 3 apps simultaneously before you have to update the cert.
