What I care more about is if we'll have sideloading in 2026: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28851533

If the answer is no, then thank goodness for Asahi Linux.

Sorry I must be out of the loop. Side loading on Mac seems like it's already possible? Just download with browser, Option-Click the app and open, right?

IIRC this doesn’t work for iOS apps

That's correct.

The parent comment mentioning Asahi Linux implies they're referring to Macs, and thus MacOS, not iOS. Further the article being commented on is about the Macbook.

No I mean installing iOS apps on macOS on Mx devices

Ah, okay. I guess that makes sense. Pretty low on my list of things to be outraged by personally but so it goes.

I ran into the same error while trying to install QMK Toolbox the other day. Apple's control-freak policy over what you can and can't install is sickening.
