iPhone app sideloading: Apple reportedly plans to charge fees and review apps downloaded outside of the App Store - 9to5Mac

Apple will soon announce policy changes to conform to the Digital Markets Act in Europe, with an impending implementation deadline...

Who would’ve thought? This isn’t going to fly with the EU.

Article 5.3 of the Digital Markets Act (DMA): “The gatekeeper shall not prevent business users from offering the same products or services to end users through third-party online intermediation services or through their own direct online sales channel at prices or conditions that are different from those offered through the online intermediation services of the gatekeeper.”

Friendly reminder that you can sideload apps without jailbreaking or paying for a dev account using TrollStore, which utilises core trust bugs to bypass/spoof some app validation keys, on a iPhone XR or newer on iOS 14.0 up to 16.6.1. (ANY version for iPhone X and older)

Install guide: Trollstore

    I steer clear of doing anything personal with work related devices. but even then, Android at least allows for two separate profiles.

      I think Apple supports work profiles as well, but I might be wrong.

      But anyways, I didn’t enroll, I didn’t have to. The only work stuff I use it for, is a few apps. They have no control over how I use my device, and they wouldn’t notice anything if I rooted it. Still though, it’s nice not to break warranty, etc
