As we’ve previously reported here at Android Authority, Research In Motion is currently suffering a sharp decline in sale numbers, with slim (if any) chances of recovery. As if their current offerings weren’t already bested by almost any manufacturer out there, it is in this context that the Canadian company has announced that a future OS update will remove the user ability to sideload Android apps on the Blackberry PlayBook. On a slight upside though, the feature will continue to be available to app developers.
According to a recent tweet by RIM’s VP of developer relations Alec Saunders, the Canadian manufacturer was forced to take this measure in an attempt to fight the increasing Android piracy problem: “Piracy is a huge problem for Android devs, and we don’t want to duplicate the chaotic cesspool of Android Market” he said.
Given the fact that the sideloading feature is a major factor in the general developer dissatisfaction towards the RIM App World, many believe that removing the user ability to sideload apps is only an obvious move, given RIM’s ambitions to tend to developer needs. Indeed, if the App World should stand any chance against its major competitors (Apple’s App Market, Google Play, and the Windows Marketplace), RIM’s platform needs to be in increasingly better relations with app developers.
On the other hand, as RIM officials have declared that the company will pay more attention in the future to the enterprise market, it only makes sense for RIM to make their platform even more secure than it already is, thus increasing their advantage in this sector.
Although removing the sideloading ability is obviously a positive step towards making the platform more appealing to developers, it is definitely also something that no PlayBook owners is going to enjoy. For many, the PlayBook’s ability to also run Android apps was a strong selling point for the RIM tablet. With this move, RIM might have won a few developers to their side, but they’ve also pushed a lot of prospective buyers away.
What do you guys think? Is this a good move from RIM? Or will it bury the company even deeper? Let us know what you think in the comment section below!

Use Cydia impactor to install .ipa files
Cydia Impactor is an app similar to XCode that lets you install .ipa files on your iOS device to sideload them. But the problem with XCode is that it’s not compatible with windows-based computers. XCode is developed by Apple as a tool for software development for third-party developers. Apple app developers use xCode to develop apps for Apple’s different operating systems.
xCode is only for developers using Mac-computers to make apps for iOS, macOS, and WatchOS for Apple devices. While it can be used to sideload iOS apps using Mac-based computers, developers using windows have to install a virtual machine on their computers. They run xCode to sideload iOS apps on their virtual machines on their windows based computer.
This problem has been solved by Cydia Impactor that is available for all the versions and different operating systems such as MacOS, Windows, Linux (32/64 bit). It was originally a tweak to remove Jailbreak from your iOS device and get iOS stock apps back on your device. Therefore, it was named as Cydia Eraser. But Cydia Impactor of today does a lot more.
How to sideload iOS apps using Cydia Impactor
- Install Cydia Impactor. Choose the version of Cydia Impactor for the operating system of your device.
- Launch Cydia Impactor.

- Wait for Cydia Impactor to recognize your device.
- Use Cydia Impactor to display your iOS device.
- Now drag the .ipa file that you want to install on your device and drop it on Cydia Impactor.

With this, Cydia Impactor will side load the iOS app on your iOS device and you can find it installed in your iPhone or iPad. But you must remember that you will need to repeat these exact steps again every week as you in case of xCode. This is because Cydia Impactor and xCode use free Apple developer account which expires every 7 days.
