Question on sideloading IDK binary file

Once I develop an app using IDk, will my friends be able to sideload the binary file on their device If I share the squashfs.bin?

    I would say yes this should work. Your friends would need to have a developer capable Roku device, and have enabled the Developer mode for their device.  If they have a copy of your squashfs.bin, I believe they should be able to sideload it and then run it.

      Is it possible to build a streaming app with IDK?
      Does it support scenegraph UI design? if not, how do we design the UI?
