AltStore lets you sign apps with a non-developer iCloud account.

That expire after seven days, just like if you signed them with XCode. And you can only install two or three apps at once, and the wireless linking rarely works.

Apple just needs to have a version of "fastboot oem unlock" (or, for that matter, "csrutil --disable") where I can sideload applications with a big warning on the lock screen/splash screen that says the device is not secure. Besides, as long as the code is running inside the sandbox, who cares?

Alright, then I think we agree. And using AltStore is not a luser-sustainable method of delivery, so the point is moot.
