Further, it’s not likely to be reliably available.
Popcorn Time for iOS tries to offer a version of sideloading, but there are far too many pieces of its process to worry about. Sideloading shifts the burden of trust and consequence onto the user, and would allow the use of legal apps that don’t meet Apple’s stringent rules for distribution. Sideloading-the installation of software outside of an authorized store-by having a “do you know what you’re doing” option in iOS, just as Gatekeeper offers different levels of trust in OS X. I’ve long thought that Apple should allow However, that’s not really the point here.

(The OS X apps from various forks are also unsigned, which is perfectly legitimate-not all Mac developers care to pay Apple’s fee-but they have the same problem as unsigned Windows apps. (Also, I’d have to have a working Windows virtual machine or computer, too.) That system, like Apple’s, is not at all foolproof, but it provides a mechanism to revoke a malicious app’s ability to install.
You’re never going to get me, for instance, to install random Windows software that wasn’t signed through Microsoft’s system. That’s a lot of vectors for trouble and a lot of trust to invest.
Trust a installation profile from developers who are subverting Apple’s system. Trust those developers to maintain a high level of project security to prevent malicious third parties from inserting malware.Ĭonnect an iOS device to a Windows system via USB and run the Windows software. (Some Popcorn Time forks also offer paid VPN service.) Trust that anonymous developers, who are facilitating the access to mostly pirated content, are acting in your best interests, and avoid including malware or adware.
