agreed, not to mention I'm just not really sure what "value" this brings. Ok sure Apple is the app gate keeper, but they are for a reason. What is side loading an app really going to do that is an advantage?
Apple will only implement that if they are painted into a corner, currently it's like Mousehunt trying to pressure Apple to doing anything that the EU wants.Do you guys have any hope for sideloading in 17.1? Can't wait, hope they won't postpone it for the next spring.
They’ll leave it until the last moment. Might be limited to EU devices too.Do you guys have any hope for sideloading in 17.1? Can't wait, hope they won't postpone it for the next spring
It's only been a week since Ios 17 was released lol or do you mean the beta?
I'll give you just one example "rocket for instagram". And a lot of other powerful apps.
Still I think they will be quite safe, after all they will have the same permissions as App Store apps. Of course they could include keyloggers and all (App Store apps could too) but won’t be able to send messages, calls, check your pics without permission, etc…
I really hope you're wrong 🤣
Yes, I’m sure even sideloaded apps will still be heavily sandboxed and subject to the same security features as the rest of iOS. A sideloaded app is not the same thing as a fully jailbroken device.
What’s that? It’s no good saying random words without details to support your point.
It’s right the first google result (and on that site you can also find other useful and powerful apps):

This app seems like something that would subvert Instagram's ToS?
I can see how having these functions directly inside the app might be useful, but most (if not all) of this can be easily done with external tools, none of which break ToS. Most use instagram’s own API functions.
