@arstechnica Having to ask apple for permission to sideload defeats the point of the EU regulation and the EU needs to make sure you don't have to ask apple for permission. All apple would have to do in good faith is put a switch in the general settings called "Allow Sideloading" with a password prompt and confirmation and then you can install any IPA you want.

@arstechnica Installing software on your own computer without asking permission from turtleneck wearing freaks isn't sideloading, it's loading.
