100% you will never be able to sideload stuff without an Apple developer account
That’s what I’ve been saying from the start and people kept bashing me saying if they didn’t do it that way it would be against the EU laws. From my perspective simply extending the enterprise program to 2rd party stores is just enough to comply with said laws.
There are a few details that aren’t that clear right now, like how will Apple conduct notarization if an app is from a 3rd party store? Will developers still have to upload their apps to Apple? This kind of kills the spirit of 3rd parties… who’s going to pay the cost? Or… will they just do it like in macOS and simply checksum every application from the 3rd party stores and if one of found to contain malware kill it via signature backlisting and/or warn the 3rd party store and potentially do the same to the store if it happens more times with their apps?
Neither of which bother me.
It should. There’s no reason to carry a computer in your pocket that is hostage of some company to run software?
