"AltStore PAL: The New Third-Party iOS App Store for EU Apple Users"

Developer Riley Testut has launched AltStore PAL, an alternative app marketplace for iPhone users in the European Union, offering access to independent apps such as the Delta game emulator and Clip clipboard manager. AltStore PAL is free to use, but apps with over one million annual installs will incur a 0.50 euro Core Technology Fee. The marketplace is decentralized, allowing developers to self-promote their apps and monetize them through Patreon integration. AltStore PAL is a response to Apple's plans to support alternative app marketplaces in iOS 17.4 and is designed to cater to smaller, indie apps that may not comply with ‌App Store‌ rules.
