Sideloading is Coming to the EU! Now What? (Patreon)

Hi Patrons,

Last week, Apple announced its plans to allow alternative "app marketplaces" in the EU. With that, we announced that we will be launching an official version of AltStore that works like a normal app store — no refreshing or computer necessary. We're currently in the process of fulfilling the necessary requirements to be approved as an app marketplace by Apple, and we plan to release an EU version of AltStore in March.

So what does this all mean for you? Well, if you live in the EU, this means you'll now be able to finally use AltStore without a computer! And if you're not in the EU, don't worry, the current version of AltStore isn't going anywhere, and we will continue to release new betas for all our apps. In other words, the Patreon isn't changing.

We're very excited about this opportunity to launch as a legitimate app store in the EU, and we couldn't have gotten here without all of you! We hope this is just the first step and that eventually everyone can sideload without all the hassles — but for now, we're very happy for our European friends 🇪🇺
