A lot of apps can&#x27;t effectively be side-loaded and retain their features. Most of these problems stem from not having the real developer&#x27;s certificates to sign the app with.<p>For example, you can&#x27;t get the source for an AppStore app, side-load it, and have it get notifications meant for the original app.<p>The same applies to IAP purchases made with the original app (they won&#x27;t be available to the re-created app).<p>So, in the very least, even if, generally, LGPL with side-loading is ok, there are definitely some apps where it would still be not.
