AltStore PAL Launches in the EU
Riley Testut:
I’m thrilled to announce a brand new version of AltStore — AltStore PAL — is launching TODAY as an Apple-approved
alternative app marketplace in the EU. AltStore PAL is an
open-source app store made specifically for independent
developers, designed to address the problems I and so many others
have had with the App Store over the years. Basically, if you’ve
ever experienced issues with App Review, this is for you!
We’re launching with 2 apps initially: my all-in-one Nintendo
emulator Delta — a.k.a. the reason I built AltStore in
the first place — and my clipboard manager Clip,
a real clipboard manager that can actually run in the
background. Delta will be FREE (with no ads!), whereas Clip will
require a small donation of €1 or more. Once we’re sure
everything is running smoothly we’ll then open the doors to
third-party apps — so if you’d like to distribute your app with
AltStore, please get in touch.
Exciting times for iOS users in the EU. Both of these things can be true:
The DMA is a bad law that, I believe, will result in more harm than good for most users.
For iOS power users and enthusiasts, alternative app marketplaces are going to be fun and useful. Right now there’s no better place to be an iPhone user than the EU.
(Also: How fun is the name AltStore PAL?)
