Normally it's blocked by default which is pretty easy to get around (It's just a setting toggle) but apparently Samsung added a second "safety" autoblocker to a recent update. (Which can also be turned off, so I'm not sure what all the fuss is about, aside from being a mild inconvenience.) https://www.androidauthority.com/enable-sideloading-one-ui-6-1-1-3463446/
Interesting. I don't like this at all. Remember AT&T tried this with locked phones (or something like that I believe) where unknown sources was completely gone?
Ya it's not a good look of things to come, but so far it's not a huge issue (yet).
Not a huge deal now, but...I don't like this move...I don't like it AT ALL...
