On iPhone you can only install an app via AppStore. Side loading is the act of installing an app without the AppStore (with a different store, or by sending a file from your computer… it allows to install apps that Apple doesn’t want on their store for various reasons like a retro game emulator to play Super Nintendo on your phone.
The really frustrating thing about iOS is even if you make and computer your own app, you have to reinstall it every week despite paying a $100 developer fee. And you can only have a few apps installed that way.
Yes. I use SideStore which allows you to renew the app right on your phone without a computer but it’s limited to 3 apps and one is SideStore so really only two sideloaded apps.

If you pay the developer fee you can sign for a full year, and you can have unlimited apps, but I think you can only sign 10 a day or something.
Oh interesting, maybe I had hit the limit before paying the fee
