    Right but in my line of business I don’t want it to even be possible. I already made my choice purchasing an iPhone knowing full well I’m locked into the AppStore and my MDM catalog. If I can sideload so can a nefarious actor.

      I can understand your concerns, at work we can do BYOD for phones and the process for MDM on Android phones are much more complex and invasive simply due to the fact that you can install apps on Android via sideloading.
