Yeah you can use testflight to distribute betas and set up an enterprise area in the app store for your own enterprise apps to be distributed to enterprise enrolled devices. Not the same as sideloading a random executable though and you're still subject to Apple's review process etc. On Wed, 17

Are you in the Apple Developer program? I’m guessing there might be a test option there. Regards, Greg Dr Greg Low 1300SQLSQL (1300 775 775) office | +61 419201410 mobile SQL Down Under | Web:

So you're all telling me that there is no "side load" feature for iPhone apps?! This is a dreadful obstacle to getting the app onto company staff phones. Luckily I have an Apple account that was recently renewed (for 150 goddamn $), but I'll have to fill-in all the store compliance documentation

Yeah they did for iPhone 15 - still sell the old ones with Lightning, and most headphones, and mice, and trackpads, and probably other things. I love how Apple used the argument that they didn't want to be forced to do it because it would stifle innovation - meanwhile they're selling lightning

I am sure other countries will jump on board once the technical precedence has been set. Apple can be very stubborn in holding on to old/dumb ideas. They're still selling stuff with lightning connector in 2024. On Wed, 17 Jan 2024 at 14:12, mike smith via ozdotnet wrote: > So the "way" will be

Interesting that there’s been a discussion going on with the EU about this. They’re insisting that Apple allow “side-loading” of apps. In response, Apple has apparently said they’re splitting their app store with one for EU, and one for the rest of the world. Regards, Greg Dr Greg Low

Folks, We're planning a MAUI app to be installed on company Android and Apple phones. For Android I can just generate the APK file and side-load it (after the security settings are relaxed). I don't know how to do the same for iPhones. We don't want the app in the store. Assuming there is a
