| >Meanwhile, we moved the discussion from a narrower issue of the article to a wider issue of sideloading in general.< Refer to earlier explanation of tiresome. >You still can't in general. Only in very specific, narrow situations, blessed by Apple. Your feelings about ease of side loading vs. app store are irrelevant, as we are talking about running software that Apple for various reasons might not approve of.< What are these "narrow" and "specific" situations you speak of? If you wish to distribute apps in jurisdictions where they are banned, I don't see why Apple is obliged to help you break the law. As for the side-loading capability, I have yet to encounter anyone who has had problems with Apple restricting their ability to side-load while enrolled under their enterprise program. Hell you can even use TestFlight to push your "beta" apps to "beta-testers" in perpetuity. >In practice, you can run only things that Apple approves. Not good enough.< Besides the links provided earlier, you can also have your own runtimes on iOS. e.g. Filemaker, Wolfram are doing this. [1] Python has been on iOS for at least 5 years.
