    Did you not see the news about Autoblocker being enabled by default on Oneui 6.1.1 blocking sideloading of apk files by default.

      Only on new phones that ship with 6.1.1, so your existing phone won’t change this setting with the update. There’s also a page during the OOBE setup with a toggle for this block where you can simply tap to disable it before proceeding.

        But, the precedent is there. Samsung is not pro sideloading or custom ROMs. In fact tizenOS was more locked down than android.
