| “Sideloading Apps Would ‘Break’ the Security and Privacy of iPhone”, said Tim Cook. But instead of gaslighting us, Apple could let us sideload notarized apps. This means: - Automated scan for malware - Remote kill switch, just in case They already do this for macOS [1]: > “Notarization is not App Review. The Apple notary service is an automated system that scans your software for malicious content, checks for code-signing issues, and returns the results to you quickly.” They could give users a choice, much like they're doing with the new App Tracking Transparency prompt. But when pressed on why Apple should have control, Cook said "Somebody has to." That's… not a very convincing argument. [1]: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/notarizing_m... |
