A brand new model of AltStore — AltStore PAL — has launched as an Apple-approved various app market within the European Union.
It’s an open-source app retailer made particularly for unbiased builders. Europeans operating iOS 17.4 or later can now set up AltStore PAL instantly from the AltStore web site. It debuts with two apps: the Nintendo emulator Delta and the clipboard manger Clip.
Not like the App Retailer, all apps on AltStore are self-hosted. As soon as an app has been notarized by Apple, builders can obtain the processed “various distribution packet” (ADP) and add it to their very own server. To then distribute with AltStore, a developer simply must create a “supply” — which is only a JSON file containing fundamental app metadata uploaded to a public URL. Customers should then add this supply to their AltStore, after which all apps from that supply will mechanically seem for them to obtain.
