The fact that you can't install apps from your own xcode and run locally (used to be at all now I guess seven day limit) is silly.

On Android, with Android 12, we can now have apps on neostore (fdroid frontend) auto update. There is no good reason to defend apple here. You as a user are always free to not install third party app stores.

The official F-Droid client has auto updates, too, for what it's worth.

This is good to know. Thank you. I'll just install f-droid app on my next phone. iirc it didn't do this when android 12 was new.

Yep, it was added fairly recently. Exciting times!

...I do right now. So that isn't a fact. It's a myth.

But they die after seven days?

[boxed]

No. It's months at the very least.

Only if you pay the $99/year developer fee.
