One of the biggest differences between the operating system iOS from Android it is impossible to install applications outside App Store, which significantly increases its security. However, this is exactly what will change practically 100% in the foreseeable future, i.e. miniin Europe. The European Union, a few months ago, Applu has been ordered to open its operating system to third-party app stores, as the current model will soon be illegal, according to the court. The Californian giant disagrees, but the threat of draconian fines combined with a potential halt to sales in the EU has forced it to comply.onealmost 100% will be compliant just like it was with USB-C on iPhones. This is also confirmed by beta iOS 17.2.

Developers collaborating with the portal 9to5mac found in the code of the second beta iOS 17.2 specifically a new API called "Managed App Distribiton", which translates to controlled distribution of applications. By analyzing this news, they subsequently found that it was through it that they were preparing Apple ground for the introduction of support for installing third-party applications outside App StoreSpecifically, the new feature should allow iPhones to download alternative app stores, which will then allow you to download your own content and more. The beta suggests that these app stores should have more or less the same basic functionality as App Store – that is, they will be able to verify compatibility with a given device, limit the application to certain countries, automatically update applications downloaded from the store, and so on.
Do you remember the appearance? App Store v iOS 10?
At this point, of course, we can only guess when exactly the new product will be available. iPhonech launched, because about it Apple has not officially said a word yet. It is also unclear who will be interested in placing their app store next to App Store, although we have heard in the past about Epic Games or Microsoftwhich could distribute games and productivity apps from the family OfficeHowever, it is likely that we will be waiting for the official announcement from AppThere is not much time left – the company must comply with EU legislation by March 2024. However, it definitely doesn't make sense to count on this new feature being available within the iOS 17.2. Apple for now, it is really just preparing the "ground" for it, as it regularly does with major software changes.
Do you think it will be possible to install IPA without using S?carwhich years do I use?
I disagree. The current model works fine and, most importantly, it is safe. Who will check whether the applications on those other stores are okay? Do they contain malware or other harmful content? It's just that iOS suffer.
Someone is forcing you to look outside appstore and install? If yes, contact the authorities in these cases, if not, chill. It doesn't concern you
Everyone is RESPONSIBLE for their own iPhone/ipad etc…
I'm just looking forward to the lamentations when something goes wrong for someone....
Personally, I also think it's a completely wrong step. The EU should definitely not have the power to dictate how commercial software should work.
The problem will be with all of us. It may happen that developers will not want to pay commissions on sales through AppStore and they will start to use this route mainly and stop offering their applications in AppStore.
No one is asking you.
No one is forcing you to install, outside of the store.
But you didn't understand politics. Applu. Things or functions that you apple not sure that it would not degrade the user experience, so iOS It doesn't add. It's just a matter of iOS It ran as smoothly as possible without any problems or slowdowns.
I think Apple they have to really sizzle about this decision because it really violates this policy for them.
Understand. It's also about the user experience as such. If someone who is a regular user and doesn't think about using it that much downloads an app from a competitor appstore and the app will be a mess, it will worsen the overall user experience iOSAnd how many times does the user not think about whether it is his fault or the phone's fault and starts thinking about Android?
And this Apple no longer in control!
Well, you can disagree, but it won't matter to you.
These updates are for two things, my tablet is fine. Air mobile also contradicts Apple 15 for well, they're probably joking with us and I'm curious what he'll do in a week!!!!
I sure hope it will be disabled by default and there will be plenty of warnings about how dangerous it is to install from an unverified source.
That's how it should be!
no one forces anyone to install unknown software outside of the official one app store, if someone installs crap on their phone, then let the attackers pay for unlocking the phone, etc
I know this initiative, I can program what I want, how I want and record it on my phone
imho..where would the world be if we couldn't run and install exe files 20 years ago? :D
FOR ALL INTELLIGENT COMMENTERS!!! Most people write here that no one is forcing us to download apps from outside AppStore, but it's not quite true! If side loading occurs, developers can't hold back almost anything AppStore and to download the application we will have to search in which third-party store we can download it... it will break the whole ecosystem Applol!!! So next time please think about the consequences first...
The Google Play Store is proof that this is not the case.
You are paying nonsense…
It just won't be you. appthings that are outside store use...it's always simple, it's called freedom of choice.
Exactly!
So much the better, isn't it Apple will he be able to give better conditions, won't he? And that's what it's all about.
We can write here what we want Apple he will do what he wants and needs. And his technicians are certainly aware of the aforementioned connections.
