iPhone app sideloading: Apple reportedly plans to charge fees and review apps downloaded outside of the App Store - 9to5Mac

Apple will soon announce policy changes to conform to the Digital Markets Act in Europe, with an impending implementation deadline...

Who would’ve thought? This isn’t going to fly with the EU.

Article 5.3 of the Digital Markets Act (DMA): “The gatekeeper shall not prevent business users from offering the same products or services to end users through third-party online intermediation services or through their own direct online sales channel at prices or conditions that are different from those offered through the online intermediation services of the gatekeeper.”

Friendly reminder that you can sideload apps without jailbreaking or paying for a dev account using TrollStore, which utilises core trust bugs to bypass/spoof some app validation keys, on a iPhone XR or newer on iOS 14.0 up to 16.6.1. (ANY version for iPhone X and older)

Install guide: Trollstore

    Thinking about switching to GrapheneOS after seeing Lou Rossman do an episode on it but I think later he walked back later due to some corporate reason.

    How’s your experience with it been?

      The only issue he had with it was because he got into a fight with the lead developer lmao. There’s a lot of drama surrounding him unfortunately but it doesn’t affect the project in any way whatsoever.

      No complaints and everything works just fine. There are some apps that require you to disable memory tagging or enable native code debugging but I’m glad to have this kind of control.

        Ok that’s good to hear, wasn’t up to date on the drama and I’m glad it’s not OS related. Have a spare media phone, will try installing it tonight. Thanks for the clarification.
