    Headline is a little misleading. There is a one day waiting period when you enable installing third party applications. After that you can install them indefinitely. It’s to stop active scams. I agree it’s BS, but it’s a lot less BS than I was expecting and what the headline/comments are making it out to be.

      What active scams? These scams should be pretty ubiquitous at this point if they’re doing all this to “stop” them, but I’ve never even heard of anyone having security issues from sideloaded apps.
