You could go with something in between? Side loading is a loaded term created to insinuate we are doing something we shouldn’t be doing.

No it’s not. Someone just made that up.

Yes, Apple. Before that it was called Installing

listen, I’ve been in technology for a long-ass time and I’ve never heard of i-drive nor should I care about the vocabulary they use.
The first time I ever heard the term sideloading was when these mobile stores started using it to make other options sound illegitimate.

Yep, and that definition was definitely what you meant lmfao.
You’re obviously within spitting distance of the point, you basically spelled it out in your last sentence, just, I don’t know, reread your words slowly?

Can I ask you why Google has deliberately chosen to ALWAYS use the term sideloading? Doesn’t that seem weird for an internet company - who should know better - to not just say “install?”
How do you think this came to be?

Yes, Apple notoriously invented it for the Android Debug Bridge too.
