Apple blocks Google from running its internal iOS apps

Does sideload still work? I recall they enabled the ability for anybody to load apps via Xcode around iOS 7, but haven't kept up to date with latest versions. Did this stop working on newer iOS versions?

I sideload stuff on my phone quite frequently.

Xcode 7 and iOS 9, and yes, you can still do this.

I do it on iOS 8. Can't recall the Xcode version.

You sure about that? IIRC this came as part of the combined developer program in 2015.

Yup. I side loaded an app yesterday onto my phone running iOS 8.4.1.

Using Xcode 6? You can go back a little bit because Xcode 7 supported the current version of iOS along with iOS 9 beta, but I don't think this goes all the way to iOS 7.
