    If it’s not in the US, I fear developers won’t take it seriously and we probably won’t get many good sideloadable apps anyway

        To be fair you can already do it for YouTube with uYou and AltStore, it won’t be as seamless as on Android but it’s possible :)

          I’ve heard about this Altsrote thing and I’ve been meaning to check it out. Does it allow apps to be installed permanent, or do I have to verify every week like the other ones?

            You need to verify every week, but it’s automatic as long as your computer is on during the verification

      And worse, development for other sideloading apps may slow down.

          European devs would not need it anymore.
