Thanks to all the security measures and security foundations of the iPhone, and some common sense from the users, we should be good to go with sideloading of apps. The gigantic size of the iPhone market, certainly makes it a prime target for all bad actors in the world. I would say that it’s the main reason why sideloading has to exist on the iPhone: because it exists on the Mac. I don’t always agree with DHH on Twitter or on his HEY feed, but it is really hard to argue against the inconvenient truth the Mac represents for Apple. As a developer, I find this profoundly disillusioning.” - Brent Simmons said in Apple in 2021 report cards from Six Colors. They lie about what the review process does and about how developers are treated equally. “I always believed Apple would draw a line at outright lying - but they continue to lie about what selling software was like before the App Store. Horror stories involving scams will be inevitable.

They will probably be full of highly questionable applications. In a world where sideloading is possible, I expect a proliferation of “curated” App Stores. Sideloading has nothing to do with this fact. Apple can’t honestly defend the App Store as being a secure place. If the App Store was scam-free, entirely free of copycats, I would trust Apple’s review team in its abilities. In a perfect world, I wouldn’t want sideloading, but we’re not in a perfect world.

I’m the one who wrote, “ A Message to Apple Developers: We Don’t Need Another Android Platform“. Ladies and gentlemen, I’m changing my mind on the sideloading of apps on the iPhone. Until today, I thought forbidding applications sideloading on the iPhone was good for users.
Again, Steve Jobs, while at NeXT, speaking of people caring more about money than products. It’s interesting to look back in the history of Apple because this is a place where you can find real gems when put in today’s context. The rest is history, and today sideloading of apps from other places than the App Store, as you know, is forbidden. Takeaways from this short video: each developer could reach every single iPhone user (repeated many times during the presentation), the “business deal” for developers which details the revenue split is 70-30, sideloading of apps is allowed, but through iTunes on Mac or PC (the App Store was available through iTunes back in the days, remember?). First, just for the fun of it, let’s go back 14 years ago.
