Is there a switch to turn this crap off? Especially on my parents’ iPhones. I don’t want to have to explain them “which App Store did you get this app from”. They have enough trouble grokking the app/web app distinction as is. I just don’t want them to be able to install other app stores, by mistake or otherwise.
Opt-in works for me. As long as they don’t get something like the browser selection prompt - that is a nightmare. No problems with the Dev Mode menu (knock on wood) but I did have to tell them not to install VPN profiles…
I am the one they call when something doesn’t work anymore. Getting them iPhones & iPads reduced those calls tremendously. I still have nightmares about the browser plugins they used to have installed on their Win XP PC.

If they did (which I doubt unless they're avid gamers) the only thing available for purchase there is game related.
What do you care what store your parents download apps?
