A Brazilian judge gives Apple 90 days to allow sideloading on iOS in Brazil, saying the “limitations” imposed by Apple on developers could deter new competitors. (valorinternational.globo.com)

The Federal Regional Court of the 1st Region (TRF-1) has overturned a trial ruling and reinstated an injunction imposed by the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (Cade) on Apple, as part of an investigation into alleged abuse of dominant position in the app distribution market for iOS devices. According to the ruling, the company will have 90 days to implement the changes mandated by the antitrust authority.

Hopefully the court was clever enought to specify that the side loading must not be more difficult than installing via the store. Apple will for sure make it as complicated and user hostile as possible so they fulfill the ruling without having any practical impact.

This will not fly here. It' will be considered "bad faith" and will incur in penalties.

They'll probably try tho, CADE will protest and the judge will make an adjustment to the rulling.
