Most of these steps apply to installing an Android app from an Untrusted SourceTM for the first time. Half of these steps are fluff added for the sake of a clickable title.<p>There are problems with Apple's proposal. This is not one of them, and I don't think it's fair to come to the right conclusion for the wrong reasons.<p>I dislike this post a lot. I'm not sure what else to say.
Using Face ID is a click?<p>Also his last 4 items are all things that happen after the app is installed and the flow is the identical to apps from the Apple Store. Also two of those do not involve any clicks or other UI operations.
There's infinite ways to sabotage this.<p>Just as Apple has sabotaged Safari forever, there's no chance Apple will ever allow third party app stores to be usable.
If you don't have an account, here's the proposed journey:<p>1. Visit the website for the download link. Click on a unique deep link.<p>2. Encounter a warning about the unknown provider. Click "Learn More."<p>3. Navigate to an Apple support page for instructions.<p>4. Find the “allow installation” section in settings.<p>5. Encounter another warning screen.<p>6. Use Face ID to proceed.<p>7. Wonder where you were and go back to the browser.<p>8. Tap "Install" again for the app.<p>9. See a confirmation sheet; tap "Install."<p>10. Face another scare screen and confirm.<p>11. Use Face ID again.<p>12. Nothing seems to happen; you're back on the website.<p>13. Check your Home Screen and swipe to the last page.<p>14. A new icon appears, not marked with a "New" bubble.<p>15. Finally, launch the app.
