Apple pulls iPhone torrent app from AltStore PAL in Europe

Apple pulls iPhone torrent app from AltStore PAL in Europe

Apple has removed the iPhone torrenting client, iTorrent, from the AltStore PAL's alternative iOS marketplace in the EU. The developer, Daniil Vinogradov, stated that Apple has revoked his distribution rights to publish apps in any alternative iOS stores, indicating that the issue is not tied to AltStore PAL itself. Apple has not provided a reason for the removal, and the matter is being investigated by AltStore PAL. This move comes despite the EU's Digital Markets Act, which gave iPhone users within the bloc greater freedom to install apps from third-party app stores that Apple does not directly manage. The article raises the question of why Apple has decided to remove the app now, as iTorrent was added to AltStore PAL in July last year. The article notes that it has reached out to Apple for a response, but has not yet received a reply.
