Yea thats the only feature I care about. But I never see it mentioned anywhere.
Same. It's the largest paradigm shift in iOS since the first iPhone. I had expected some kind of announcement at WWDC so devs could prepare, but radio silence. Apple could play out the clock on this one until February/March next year, but that would be a huge risk. Any issues with deployment and they risk a recurring fine of up to 20% of global revenue. The EU is hungry to make an example, too. If they're not dumb, the EU will get side-loading (AKA installing applications on our phones) next month. I look forward to installing all kinds of apps.
The issue is that from what I've read it is very likely that Apple will simply create a new kind of Enterprise certificate that allows you to sign and install apps without the store but it won't be available to the general public. Most likely only registered companies that are willing to pay a lot of money for it.
lol of course the EU is gonna crack that shit down. The law is directly targeting Apple, there won’t be any loopholes.
It just that Apple is gonna make absolutely no fuss about it and silently allow only devices registered in here to side load. Looking forward to it.
Not sure of they will... or at least in a reasonable time. I didn't see anything on the law that made what I was suggestion illegal, only annoying but compliant with some imagination and allegations of security...
