An article titled iOS 17 to Support App Sideloading to Comply With European Regulations indicates that you can soon sideload applications from other stores to comply with a new DMA law discussed within the article.
Other countries including the U.S. are talking about other legislation to allow this.
Apple says that this could open IOS users up to more scams and malware, and while the Mac has safeguards it has, IOS can in theory get those safeguards.
AllI’vegot to say is that I hope Apple does this in the best interest of security. If they don’t comply with the law, they could be fined and I understand why they are needing to comply here.
The JRN will be watching this.
