Comment on Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration

BitingChaos@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

I was able to set custom APN settings on my Pixel to bypass the tethering block that MetroPCS puts on their cheapest plan.

There is nothing in iOS that lets you do that.

I also can’t run WiFi scanners on iOS.

And Android will still have ADB sideloading. On iOS I have to run shit like Sideloadly to re-sign applications every 7 days.

If you’re a true Android fan, there is still a lot to keep you on the platform.

Literally all of this is being able to run whatever software you want

  So if Android loses that you go to the other place that also NOT lets you do that? That makes sense… Get a fairphone, install Ubuntu touch and stop rolling over like a good little dog.

    Did I say I’d go to IOS? Did I say that at any point?

  Which part of having access to the built-in APN settings has to do with running whatever software I want?

    Yes, I’m just trying to point that out to the above person.
