As much as I love the decision to be able to sideload apps on iOS I fear that we’ll start seeing headlines like these.
They are way less than Android and Apple revokes the app certificate so even the downloaded ones stop to work.
Also the rare cases this happened in iOS the number of affected users were way small
This is a bad whatabotism since the scale is completely different and I really fear side loading. Specially because some developers will force users to get stuff outside the App Store putting everyone in risk.
