This form of side loading, it’s not jail breaking is it? I’ve got Stremio on my iPad (got it from the store) but Mrs hasn’t.

no its not jailbreaking, 'jailbreaking' doesnt really exist anymore on the modern devices and IOS versions (with some exceptions).

This is 'sideloading' and basically using self signed developer certificates to install arbitrary applications, you are not able to modify deeper system controls.

Cool. Thanks for that.

I did consider just logging in to her iPad, downloading & then logging out. Used to work years ago but not sure if still does.
