Third-party iOS app store AltStore PAL has arrived in the EU, and its first two apps are Nintendo emulator Delta and Clip clipboard manager. They’re made by Riley Testut.

After we recently tested it in beta, the third-party iOS app store AltStore PAL is now live in the European Union thanks to Apple’s compliance with the region’s Digital Markets Act . The store requires a €1.50 annual subscription to cover Apple’s Core Technology Fee for installing the app marketplace itself. Installing AltStore PAL requires clicking through a lot of Apple’s clumsily implemented scare sheets that double and triple check your desire to install apps from outside Apple’s App Store.

AltStore has been around since 2019 for iOS, but until now installing it has involved a workaround that basically tricks the iPhone into thinking you’re the app’s developer using a companion piece of software called AltServer running on a Mac or PC. It’s a bit hacky, even if it doesn’t technically involve jailbreaking your phone. Now, thanks to the DMA, Delta and Clip are getting a legitimate Apple notarized launch on the AltStore PAL app marketplace in the EU.
