You can also just resign the binaries in one quick CLI command. That can’t go away because it’s baked into the post-compile build stages of Mac and iOS apps. So relax, this thread is all a bunch of silly FUD.


If you are a developer, with the developer tools installed, sure. That's already well out of reach of the average user.


Average user doesn’t even know what side-loading is, nor do they care.


Yeah, haha. This is not FUD: try to do the same on iOS.


Yeah I do it nearly everyday. You can side load all you want with a developer account.


>with a developer account

Thanks, you missed the point.


I said the thread is FUD because essential tooling is baked into the OS that invalidates the central thesis of the thread. Your response was, “haha ok now try that on a separate platform that requires a well known upfront premium to circumvent binary integrity protection, because consequences are much more significant, lolz”. And I responded with “yes, confirmed circumvention possible after paying small fee”.

Or were you saying something else that I misunderstood?


The point is, you do not have control over your own device and need permission - after paying a fee - to do things freely with your own device.
