    This could be a real game-changer! I’ve always felt Apple’s app restrictions were a bit too tight, so hearing they might allow sideloading due to the EU’s Digital Markets Act is exciting. It opens the door for more freedom and innovation. Curious to see how Apple balances security with this new level of openness.

    And all the people who defended the lack of sideloading as a security feature will suddenly think it’s a great idea.

    Thanks, EU.

    Please just let this be a global decision, and not like these companies do with GDPR.

      Doubt Apple will allow JIT to run on their specific region sideloading.

        The DMA requires Apple to provide access to all hardware and software features required to serve competing apps and services. Browser engines are explicitly mentioned several times, and these require JIT access. It’s going to be interesting to see how they implement that.
