  Yeah but don’t you have to boot up your PC and connect your phone to iTunes once a week to re-enable developer mode to be able to sideload? Is there a more permanent method that I’m unaware of?

    Jesus, how the heck is this called “sideloading is so easy on an iPhone”?

    That’s a nightmare procedure, and completely unnecessary.

  They are converging to become the same thing.

  Its not any better on iOS, fyi, they too require Apple’s final approval.

    They don’t require apples approval at all not sure if youre talking about the EU. Im talking about sideloading with sidestore and live container

  Sideloading being so easy on iphones

  Is it easy? Apple has only made that change in the EU AFAIK, it’s still a closed system all around the world.

    Look up sidestore and Live Container. I have many apps sideloaded without jailbreaking

      I’m not sure I’d call those methods easy. They are all way more time consuming and annoying than Android is currently.
