This is so dumb. Just let people install files like on MacBooks, Apple.
Curious that I got downvotes. Do people not want to install files on their iPhones? It's really nice on Android. I can install any .apk file I want and Google can't stop me!
I think the reason for the downvote is, that this is not the point of the article at all and is besides the point.
How? The article is about Apple inserting itself between developers and users. If Apple just let iOS users download a file from a website and install it, there would be no need for 3rd party app stores or Apple's gatekeeping. They do this on macOS, why not iOS?
No. The article is about a security flaw in their implementation of installing 3rd party appstores.
Exactly! If they didn't have their "security" check there wouldn't be any flaw. The check itself is unnecessary except to make Apple money.
