iOS Sideloading Soon on the Way for Users
Apple is hinting at allowing users to sideload apps from outside the app store on iOS devices. This move is in response to the European Union's antitrust legislation that requires the company to enable sideloading to increase competition. Evidence in the beta code suggests that Apple is working on an API for managed app distribution, which could potentially allow developers to create their own app stores. Apple has published new documentation for this managed app distribution API on its website, confirming its intention as an MDM (Mobile Device Management) solution, but it could have other uses as well.
