      Yeah but don’t you have to boot up your PC and connect your phone to iTunes once a week to re-enable developer mode to be able to sideload? Is there a more permanent method that I’m unaware of?

        Jesus, how the heck is this called “sideloading is so easy on an iPhone”?

        That’s a nightmare procedure, and completely unnecessary.

        Obviously Apple makes sideloading as hard as possible.

      Is it easy? Apple has only made that change in the EU AFAIK, it’s still a closed system all around the world.

        Look up sidestore and Live Container. I have many apps sideloaded without jailbreaking

          I’m not sure I’d call those methods easy. They are all way more time consuming and annoying than Android is currently.
