    The app was available (via testflight) to download even without sideloading…

      And got kicked off by Apple, as per the article… A thing that can’t be done in the future that a lot of people who use Android want to force onto Apple users.

        I think the current proposed implementation would still allow Apple to revoke apps from third party stores, and they’d still control entitlements internally. Having said that, there’s plenty of pushbacks already, and I haven’t caught up as to whether or not EU approved their proposal yet. In all cases, as I said earlier, just like the cookie law and GDPR, the DMA maybe came from a good place with some good ideas, but the implementation is so broken, what companies will do to comply with the word of the law will be a gong show.

        This is not Android users forcing anything upon you. Its about antitrust. No one will force you to enable sideloading.

        Hell, Apple will probably heavily discourage anyone from trying it.
