I suppose most of this is eaten up by the need to pay apple $99 per year just to run your own app on your own phone for longer than a week.

surely on an iPhone that has the checkm8 hardware vulnerability available, one could jailbreak the device, install a codesigning bypass plugin on it, then develop and sideload their app without the whole "pay apple $99/yr to keep your sideloaded app on your phone" thing?
