This is it folks: sideloading is coming to iOS (at least for our EU friends), and maybe full-blown 3rd party app stores too As someone who’s been running a 3rd party app store for past few years...this will greatly affect me 🤪 So perhaps unsurprisingly, I have some thoughts 🧵

hello good morning we've got a live stream happening! happy thursday and 2nd day of summer youtube.com/watch?v=xmbHp_…

And for the nerdier crowd: once Threads enables ActivityPub support I’ll be using my Mastodon account for everything, so you can skip the in-between by following me directly there: @rileytestut" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mastodon.social/@rileytestut

Breaking my Twitter hiatus to say I’m on Threads! If you’ve also made the jump, follow me there to stay in touch 👋 @rileytestut" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">threads.net/@rileytestut

It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 14 years, since 26 Feb 2009 (via @twi_age).

@AppInstalleriOS @altstoreio We wanted to release something ASAP without taking away too much time from Delta development (especially because this is only for older iOS versions), and integrating the source code directly would’ve taken significantly longer to polish and debug 🤷‍♂️

🚀 AltStore 1.6.1 is now available for EVERYONE! 🐮 Supports removing 3-App Limit via MacDirtyCow* 🧹 “Clear Cache” button 🛠️ Fixes Sources on iOS 12 *Requires iOS 14.0 - 16.1.2 (excluding 15.7.2). iOS 16.2 or later not supported.

Say Goodbye to Tweetbot. We've been proud to serve you over the last 12+ years, but due to circumstances beyond our control, we have to shut down Tweetbot. Thank you so much for your patience and outpouring of support over these tough times at Tapbots. tapbots.com/tweetbot/

I’ve been using Tweetbot since it came out in 2011; it’s synonymous with Twitter for me, and I’m furious to see it killed in the most cowardly way possible Without it, I don’t plan to use Twitter anymore — stay in touch on Mastodon (in bio) Thanks for everything Tweetbot 💜

@Awesomej07 Amazing! Learned so many lessons from Muz, as long as he’s around the drumline is in good hands 🙏

@rileytestut Still is, yep

@rileytestut this you?

@Awesomej07 incredible!!! makes sense, spent a looot of time there 😛 is Muzquiz still there??

@rileytestut It was in the percussion room at the high school, one of my friends found it behind a bunch of stuff. It’s cool to know that it’s yours though!

@EvanCurtis9 @DPPt_Shitpost good memories 🥰

You are 8 years old and you wake up on Christmas day. You see Pokémon Diamond under the tree. You stick all day playing in your pajamas. You are happy.

“I’m not totally keen on the App Store part, but sideloading I think, like, totally” — @mattcassinelli

“I keep thinking about emulators. Emulators aren’t allowed on iOS, basically” It’s about time we #FreetheEmulators sixcolors.com/post/2022/12/a…

@joshdholtz thanks Josh!! high school Riley is very happy rn ☺️

@rileytestut @daringfireball Congrats on getting fireballed! ☄️

reading my name on @daringfireball is *extremely* surreal 😱 twitter.com/daringfireball…

@conradev Maybe a misunderstanding here? I’m not arguing Apple’s store is more secure than others, just that human review *in general* provides value over just sideloading/notarization I don’t want 3rd party stores for other reasons, but I agree they’d curate their stores like Apple does

Our goal from day one has been to make sideloading a positive addition to your iOS experience — and we’re just getting started 🚀

Opinion: Don't fear the reports that sideloading could be coming to iOS, @altstoreio has proven that it can be safe and secure. trib.al/Pvc3YYz
