There are ways to sideload apps on iOS, but it’s pain in the ass. From my memory (may not be 100% correct as of today):
many 3rd party apps not allowed in apps store are distributed in source code form. use xcode to compile the app yourself and load it to your phone. Works for a week, then you’ll have to install it again. Oh, and you can only install three at a time.
there are 3rd party apps stores that sort of working by distributing their developer certificates along with the 3rd party apps (e.g. tweakboxapp, etc). You’ll need to trust the developer certificates before you can install the apps. Oh, and apple frequently revoked their certificates so you’ll going to play cat and mouse with apple.
use altstore.io to install 3rd party app. The same 3 apps limit still apply, but this app automatically manage reinstallation for you, so it can reduce the pain of managing sideloaded apps just a bit.
Ahh yeah i love that about Android. I never knew apple was so locked down, i should have known though
It’s not even something to love. It should in the definition of a mobile OS/phone. It would be weird to say “I love that Android can output display”.
