> Shifting goal posts from “you can’t” to “you can’t without X” once someone points out the first was factually incorrect is considered disingenuous by many too.

First off, you're making a huge assumption here.

Second, the only goalpost shifting here is your attempt to pass off complex and temporary workarounds intended for developers as resulting in a device that is somehow the same as jailbroken devices. This is incorrect for the obvious reasons pointed out already.

Perhaps you are unfamiliar with jailbreak and didn't know apps installed via jailbreak don't need to be constantly renewed and resigned? Installing apps long term is still something you can't do, as I originally said.

Attempting to pass off a lesser solution that doesn't come close to matching what I originally mentioned and pretending it is the same is dishonest and disingenuous.

Please show me where I was wrong in anything I said. I've shown conclusively that your statement quoted above was wrong, nothing you said here says anything other than you are angry and want to lash out.

> Perhaps you are unfamiliar with jailbreak

Considering I wrote one of the first high traffic'd jailbreaking guides for iOS and have been involved in the JB scene in various capacities (never a key role admittedly) since the very beginning, I'm pretty sure that isn't the case. ;)

That's pretty easy - please re-read my previous comment as it quite clearly mentions the disconnect you're not picking up:

> your attempt to pass off complex and temporary workarounds

> apps installed via jailbreak don't need to be constantly renewed and resigned?

I'm surprised someone who claims to be involved in the scene so long would overlook such an obvious difference.

The continued ad hominem is a clear indication you don’t want to have an honest debate and rather just want to pick a fight, so have a nice day!
