  For the curious, sideloading apps requires you to run a server on your computer, and refresh the signature on the app at least once a month.

    Don’t you also need a developer license? So that’s like an additional $8/month subscription to sideload on iOS.

    Or I could be wrong 🤷

      Users make abhorrent weird workarounds for that, like running a PC software that uses a free temporary developer license to re-license an app on your phone, that then uses that license to resign other apps ““automatically””

      Not quite. You can use your free apple ID for temporary self-signing. But this cert is only valid for 7 days and can sign up to 3 apps simultaneously.
