iOS 17 could let iPhone users sideload apps

Apple is working on allowing iPhone users to download apps from sources outside its own store with the upcoming iOS 17 update.

That is according to Bloomberg's resident Apple expert, Mark Gurman, who explained the change was necessary to comply with new European Union (EU) regulations, which came into effect in November 2022.

All I care about is sideloading Kodi on tvOS 17.

It will be good to be able to sideloap apps. Just sandbox the heck out of apps loaded like this.

I like my little electronic safe space more than the ability to sideload stuff.

Pay $25 a year for something that’s free and open source? No thanks.

That’s one way to look at it I guess.
I was just paying for the convenience.
Funny thing though is I could never really get around to knowing how to use Kodi

Malware on the store isn’t related to sideloading apps.
IMO, it is more because Apple charges every developer 99 USD a year to publish apps to their respective app stores. It eliminates most of the trash by having a higher barrier to entry.

There are numerous applications that are so specific to their niche that going through the app store isn't worth it. For example, if a company develops an application for internal use that they will never share with the outside world.

The other annoying thing is outright censorship. App-store versions of Telegram have certain channels blocked. On Android I just sideloaded the version from Telegram's website. On iOS there is nothing I can do other than use the web-version.

I have to assume that, as curated as it is, it still must have some.

There is malware on Apple devices.
And if you don't want to sideload, that's fine, no one is forcing you to.
