Apple is making strides towards fair competition in the EU with the introduction of the Digital Markets Act. As a result, AltStore is at the forefront of this revolution, offering a revamped version tailored for the EU market.

AltStore’s latest version is set to support Patreon-backed apps, providing a dynamic platform for developers and users. This move aligns with Apple’s new APIs that facilitate independent app distribution, allowing AltStore to integrate Patreon for a unique monetization approach.

The EU edition of AltStore will launch with two apps, including the popular Delta emulator, under a subscription-based model. This innovative approach bypasses traditional payment channels and offers developers new opportunities without hefty commissions.

With alternative app stores now able to access larger app revenues under Apple’s DMA rules, AltStore aims to empower developers and create a vibrant ecosystem. Founder Riley Testut envisions expanding beyond proprietary apps to build a thriving community of creators.

Testut highlights the user-friendliness of the EU version of AltStore, promising a seamless experience similar to the App Store. Although ready for launch, final approval from Apple is pending.
