Brazilian users can now officially install AltStore PAL on their iPhones as part of Apple's new regulations allowing alternative app marketplaces. This change follows a lengthy regulatory process and a settlement with Brazil's competition authority, CADE, which also permits alternative payment systems on iOS.
To set up AltStore PAL, users must be located in Brazil, have an iOS version of at least 26.5, and use a Brazilian App Store account. Instructions include downloading from the official AltStore site, enabling marketplace downloads, and installing the app marketplace.
With this launch, Brazil joins regions such as Japan and the European Union in adopting alternative app distribution methods. Brazilian users can now browse through categories like Games and Utilities, and can enhance their app selection by adding other sources.
