Sideloading history

Sideloading is last enabled in macOS 11.2. Sideloading was disabled in macOS 11.3 beta and in the current macOS 11.3 full release. If one attempts to sideload an app, the erorr message "This application cannot be installed because the developer did not intend for it to run on this platform" appears.
