Brazilian court gives Apple 90 days to allow sideloading on iOS.
-
If they don't then they might lose the Brazilian market and who knows what comes after. It's less about what Apple wants to do and more about what they might be forced to do.
They'll comply for sure but at what cost, that's the thing to watch.

I’ve beeen an Apple user long enough to remember when “sideloading” was called “installing software.”
Enshittification is subtle and started long before we realized. Weird nerds who wanted power over skill corrupted the internet back in the late 90s.

No it didn't , lot of folks have been banging on about it for decades.
Like privacy, most peole dont give a shit until it's too late and then say but no body said anything.
I've been screaming into the void from the mid '90s.

Freedom comes with a cost. I'm sure Apple will find a way to earn big bucks from this sideloading of app thing.
This is how brain-broken capitalism has made people... The concept of an effective government actually regulating a company and forcing them to spend more money to do the thing they should be doing is just completely foreign to you.

I remember jailbreaking used to be a thing on iPhone then Apple slowly integrated the jailbreak features into iPhone. Then slowly jailbreaking died, I mean not literally dead but people are now unfamiliar with that thing.
What's the problem? Should those features only be available to people who know about jailbreaking? It seems like the pressure caused Apple to actually spend some money to add useful features that people obviously wanted. What's the bad thing here?

Ok, but what about game consoles? I don’t like how Nintendo is abusing their dominant position in the software distribution for the Switch.
Look at Sony’s position. They are still selling the Ps5 despite it having no games.

There are ways without the dev account (faked certificate), but if you use a VPN, or update your Os, apple will blacklist your device. And you also need to have some very specific DNS settings blocking a bunch of apple domains. @[email protected] is an expert.
Thanks, good to know.

It costs them nothing. Sideloading on iOS is already a thing, they spend more restricting the hell out of it than just letting you do it

Brazil gonna be new US, lol
In which areas? These news is certinatly not in that direction.

iOS is so closed source I don't think Apple is gonna give us that freedom!!
Windows and Mac OS are both closed source but both allow apps outside an app store. No issue with the code base there.

Yeah, i went Steam in stead, Nintendo makes my skin crawl with disgust.
Steam Decks are legit the best console on the market.

- Game consoles don't have a duopoly
- You gotta start somewhere

You're right, at what cost..?

Didn't jailbreaking pretty much die because apple made it really hard?
-
Like this?
Yes! Exciting news!

I don't want to sidelode anything on my iPhone.
I want to sideload things in my iPhone. Hopefully we’ll both be able to do what we want.

Yes! Exciting news!
Making Mercosur more valuable is a good thing for South America itself in the sense that it keeps countries from doing radical movements. For example, Venezuela was suspended from it because of their violation of human rights.

Like replacing US as one of biggest trading partner of EU because you can trust Brazil government more than US government, and is nearly on the same continent

Yeah, and last I heard (a few years ago) anything running apple M# chips is not jailbreakable.

Here’s a link to the Guide: https://is.gd/sideloading
I focus on free methods hence a bunch of things one needs to read through first like revokes in order to avoid them. Even if you go with the paid route, there are services that allow you to gain a certificate for much less as they distribute the price of one developer account to multiple users which is in the form of a private cert. The tutorial is supposed to guide you through the usage of enterprise certificates instead as it allows to sideload for free.
I do moderate this community for announcements & discussions: [email protected]
