Apple pulls torrenting app from a third-party store in the EU
Apple has prevented the download of the iTorrent app, a popular BitTorrent client, on iPhones in the EU. The app was available on AltStore PAL, a third-party iOS app store. Apple revoked the app developer's, Daniil "XITRIX" Vinogradov, ability to distribute apps on such third-party marketplaces. While Apple has historically banned torrent clients from iOS devices in the United States, the EU's Digital Markets Act requires Apple to allow apps from third-party stores to be installed by users. The motivation behind Apple's actions is unclear, as the company has not provided a clear explanation to the app developer or the co-founder of AltStore PAL, Shane Gill. Apple has only responded with a generic message about app store issues. The situation remains unresolved, and the app's removal from the third-party store has raised concerns about Apple's compliance with the EU's new regulations.
