    Youre not getting it. The developers of the tools can and do impose their own additional limitations. They’re still limitations of the programs which is what we were taking about.

    And it doesn’t matter what limitations Apple imposes in its walled garden, their phones can still be jail broken and side loaded in the more traditional way.

    The concept of sideloading is a general term that applies to multiple platforms, not something Apple owns or gets to dictate. No one is making up anything here.

    Sideloading is the process of installing applications on a device from sources other than the official app stores.

    https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/sideload

    the practice of putting software on a computer or mobile phone, without using the official way of buying the software

    Sideloading is the practice of installing mobile apps on a device that are not from the official app stores

    Etc.

    If your argument requires cherry picking, ignoring key points, and baseless ad homenims, it’s not a good point.

      I said Apple allows sideloading, you tried to correct me, and then changed your argument when you realized you were wrong. It’s just you not getting it.

      Your “tools” that bypass the limitations set by apple wouldn’t even be relevant if they were real since you’re arguing with the factual statement that Apple allows you to sideload your apps, regardless of where you are in the world.

      P.S. Even your links prove that you’re wrong about sideloading. Unless you’re now trying to argue there’s nothing official about governmentally mandated Apple-certified App Stores, in which case… just walk
