He’s a great developer but he needs to find a way not to be so reliant on giant tech companies to make his apps viable.

All technology development stands on the shoulders of giants. It’s unethical for modern giants to refuse to continue the tradition.

“Sideloading” isn’t a thing. That’s a term to shame and discredit people and apps installed outside of the official stores. Just like people got shamed by “jaywalking” for merely crossing the street. Both of those things were, are, and always should be the norm.

Because it isn’t real. You aren’t “sideloading”. You’re simply installing apps. You’re not doing anything different, other than using a source that the big company does not like.

the app in question was

  1. on Apple App Store
  2. for Vision Pro

so your alternatives might not be the best fit here.

this sort of thing is exactly why mozilla, firefox, and - more specifically - a non-profit internet is essential to it’s survival. two for profit ad-driven companies being the gatekeepers of the internet is horrible.
