   Hi Tom Elam,   
      
   Happy New Year!   
      
   You're describing user experience, which is a different issue.   
    a. This thread is about why only iOS can't back up app installers.   
    b. And why only iOS embeds your identity (and device) in the IPA.   
      
   Certainly no other consumer operating system does that but iOS.   
    A. Even macOS doesn't do that.   
    B. Only iOS does it.   
      
   Why?
