Wat? On android, you just send a file, they open it and it's installed. TestFlight just forces itself into a transaction where it's completely unnecessary.

    Nothing could go wrong sending a random binary to people. 🤷‍♂️

    Look I get it, there is some annoyance when it comes to distributing potentially malicious binaries on iOS. And I do wish there was some kind of method for removing that restriction buried deep in some menu where your grandma can’t find it. But the methods for sending apps outside of the store are there and are very easy.

    It’s obvious to me that you’ve never done this, because you’ve not mentioned the biggest hurdle in this process. No I won’t tell you.

    Nothing will convince a fruithead that the fruit store can do anything wrong or that there's another way. Once you're in the system, it's like a cult.

    Look, I get it, it feels nice and cozy, you feel like you belong and buying that device with those sweet, round patented corners suddenly elevates you above those that still send messages that arrive in different colours. But let me tell you, there's a world outside of the system where things surprisingly still work without papa Cook peering into everything you do.

    It's obvious to me that's it's been a while since you've have this major experience others experience daily since you move into the garden. No, I won't tell you :)
