    I was against sideloading, because I’m in it for the walled garden and if governments were to use their own stalls to publish their apps, then, actually it doesn’t matter anymore! Our gov apps still invasive anyway, imo.

    For the clueless, the particular app scans your face with various coloured screens being blasted through the phone screen, doesn’t matter if you have face ID enabled or not, its their own scan.

    Power to sideloading.

      You being paid by apple to fear monger about sideloading?

      If you fear this, just leave the sideloading to others.

        Wherever I ever see a comment complaining about sideloading, I just assume they’re an Apple financed marketing shill.

        Even if they’re just a brainwashed moron, the argument is so stupid they deserve nothing but ridicule.

      About 90% of my apps from fdroid. A Foss store that will do they’re best to ensure no anti or invasive features break through to my phone. I am certain that apple will have a similar store.
