"AltStore PAL Launches in Europe, Offering Web Distribution for iOS 17.5 Beta"

AltStore PAL, a third-party iOS app store, is now live in the European Union after Apple's compliance with the Digital Markets Act. The store requires a €1.50 annual subscription and offers apps like Delta, an emulator for various games, and Clip, a clipboard manager. AltStore PAL integrates with Patreon for monetization and supports developers who want to distribute beta apps as a reward for crowd-sourced funding. Unlike Apple's centralized App Store, AltStore PAL apps are self-hosted by developers on their own servers, and users have to add additional "sources" to the app marketplace to download software made by other developers.
