Usb-C, side loading, what's next? APK or snap packages compatibility?

Great, now force them to open up their NFC, so mobile banking apps can skip Apple Pay for their contactless payment feature

I was against sideloading, because I’m in it for the walled garden and if governments were to use their own stalls to publish their apps, then, actually it doesn’t matter anymore! Our gov apps still invasive anyway, imo.

For the clueless, the particular app scans your face with various coloured screens being blasted through the phone screen, doesn’t matter if you have face ID enabled or not, its their own scan.

Power to sideloading.

You guys downvoting me do realize that I’m fine with sideloading right?

Your first sentence, after the comma, should say “because I was in it…”. That was a bit confusing.

And then you went completely off the rails with some colored light government conspiracy stuff.

So I think that’s causing the downvotes.

That’s just financial apps using selfies for id verification. They’ve been doing that for years with crypto exchange apps.
