   The main point is that only Apple locks every IPA to a specific user.   
   And that's bad.   
      
   However... since these are technical ngs, it's important to note that, if   
   you're knowledgeable, you can sideload a physical .ipa file onto an iOS   
   device using specialized tools such as Xcode, AltStore, Sideloadly, etc.   
       
      
   But it's not something that the average iOS user can easily accomplish.
