Apple's latest iOS update in Europe allows for the download of apps from outside the official App Store, in compliance with the Digital Markets Act. AltStore PAL, the first third-party app 'store', is now available, offering the Nintendo emulator Delta, which can run games from various consoles. This move legally circumvents Apple's restrictions, but it remains to be seen how Nintendo will respond.
Altstore PAL, the first Apple-approved third-party app store, is now available for download in the EU following the Digital Markets Act ruling. Priced at 1.50 euro per month, Altstore offers indie developers a platform to distribute apps that may not meet Apple's App Store guidelines. Users can access apps like Clip, a clipboard manager, and Delta, a Nintendo emulator, while also supporting developers through Patreon. Although primarily for EU residents, non-EU users can access the store with additional steps.
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.
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.
