AltStore PAL available in Brazil as Apple enables alternative app marketplaces

Apple has enabled alternative app marketplaces in Brazil, for devices running iOS 26.5 and later, allowing users to install and manage apps outside the official App Store.

Brazilian iPhone users can now download AltStore PAL, which can be set as their default marketplace.

Developers in Brazil can also use alternative payment methods and will see a revised commission structure under the new rules.

Similar regulatory-driven changes were previously introduced in Japan, including stronger safety and privacy rules.
