Technically, sideloading is possible already, but you need a developer account, you’re limited to 3 sideloaded apps at a time, and you have to renew them every week.
So the more difficult way already exists.
Comment on Brazilian court gives Apple 90 days to allow sideloading on iOS.

Hopefully the court was clever enought to specify that the side loading must not be more difficult than installing via the store. Apple will for sure make it as complicated and user hostile as possible so they fulfill the ruling without having any practical impact.

There are ways without the dev account (faked certificate), but if you use a VPN, or update your Os, apple will blacklist your device. And you also need to have some very specific DNS settings blocking a bunch of apple domains. @avieshek@lemmy.world is an expert.

Thanks, good to know.

Here’s a link to the Guide: https://is.gd/sideloading
I focus on free methods hence a bunch of things one needs to read through first (like revokes) but there are paid solutions as well to offer private certs for $5-$20 in which case one developer account (handled by a third-party you prefer) is shared among multiple people in a subscription style. This only allows one the luxury to sideload and nothing else, and is why I focus on free method where you may instead pay for the app instead like custom emulators and such if need be.

Any similarities to Windows Explorer are unintentional and of course too retro to be ironic

This will not fly here. It’ will be considered “bad faith” and will incur in penalties.
They’ll probably try tho, CADE will protest and the judge will make an adjustment to the rulling.
