I wan't to know who is actually fighting for this feature? Not just asking for it, but has an actual catalog of apps that are so unique and can't be found on the App Store. While also having the actual app package file reading to load.

Not me fighting, but the EU for me 👍 For example, there are no emulators in the App Store. Remote cloud PC streaming applications are prohibited in the App Store and cloud game streaming applications are also prohibited.

Let the malwares and scams begin!

It’s hilarious how everyone is cheering for sideloading, just wait till Facebook begins to ask mandatory sideloading for info collection, and mass security breach. But yeah, you can get emulators and porns now, hooray, fuck privacy right?

I pray this doesn't spread and come to the US, because this will 100% make my iPhone experience worse.

Google, Microsoft, and Facebook at minimum will want to have their own separate stores to avoid the Apple Tax. So that's 3 new locations I'd have to manage installs and updates from. Nevermind the new risk factor for mom o dad not knowing if they're installing the right app.

What if you fly in and out of the EU?

I know epic only wants to do things that piss Apple off now.

So I wonder if they’ll bring Fortnite back through side loading only because they know being able to show off their app not giving Apple a single dime will piss be a thorn in Apple’s side.
