    Once a year if you have a paid developer account, which is $100/year. It’s otherwise every 7 days and capped at 3 simultaneous apps*. And in either case you need a Mac or Windows machine available as well. I suspect it’ll be an improvement for anyone without a paid developer account.

    * - At least, according to https://sideloadly.io/ - I haven’t touched sideloading for a few years (with AltStore + AltServer).

      You’re assuming you won’t need a dev account for this new system? Or is that confirmed somewhere

        It’s an educated inference - I don’t believe that requiring a paid dev account to sideload would satisfy the EU, and I don’t think a system that requires a paid dev account would be meaningfully different from the current state of things.

        But then again, I will be surprised if the EU allows Apple to charge a commission on fees related to apps distributed outside their store, and they’re doing that anyway, so who knows.

          Not to sideload, to develop an app. Right now you can develop an app and allow it to 100(I think) people to sideload it for a year

            Are you talking about them installing it via Testflight?

            Regardless, I would not expect the $100 annual fee for developers to go away

              I mean; add their UDID to your account > build app > distribute over the internet for them to sideload
