[Question] Can I activate an eSIM without being a carrier? #43

Hi,

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but... Considering that my company resells eSIMs, is it possible for an app to activate other carriers' eSIMs?

Currently, we provide the QRCode for the activation, it works for desktop users but is not a good experience for mobile users.

I read through Android docs and it seems to me that only carriers and their own signed apps can do it, is that correct? Does the same apply to Apple? Do they only approve the entitlement if you are the carrier activating your own eSIMs?

Thanks!
