I'm more interested in knowing concretely if I will be able to compile any iOS app from GitHub and sideload it without a developer account having it only last for a week and having to resign. But nobody seems to be interesting in answering the hard questions... or this is all bullshit like I predicted.
As far as I understand, this isn’t changed.
Apple didn’t really open control of iOS as all apps still have be approved by them through notarization, which they said will be done by a person and not automated.
You can’t run unsigned apps on iOS like you can on macOS.
So essentially the legislation is useless as usual, just like I predicted.
