Apple Revokes EU Distribution Rights for an App on the Alt Store

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-31 14:15:54

This allows for easier access to software that's typically prohibited by Apple, including the popular iTorrent BitTorrent client. The iTorrent client built a steady user base over the past year, but that came to an abrupt end when Apple decided to revoke the developer's alternative distribution rights. Historically, Apple has banned torrent clients from its iOS devices.
