Battersea Power Station is home to Apple's UK headquarters Last month, the United Kingdom’s competition regulator designated Apple and Google as having “strategic market status.” As a result, the two companies will be subject to different regulatory rules, some of which are very similar to Europe’s DMA.

Torrent app unavailable at AltStore PAL following apparent notarization revocation by Apple

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-10-30 12:28:21

When Apple was compelled to allow alternative iOS app stores in the EU, it adopted the notarization model familiar to Mac developers. This means that if Apple revokes the notarization of a certain app, its distribution and use get blocked, even though it was installed from outside the App Store. That’s exactly what seems to have happened to iTorrent. Here are the details. As reported today by TorrentFreak, multiple users took to iTorrent’s GitHub page to report that they were unable to download
