As a direct consequence of the European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), the Google Play alternative Aptoide is now ready to take on iOS as well. The closed launch will take place tomorrow, and new users will need an invitation to join. Between 500 and 1,000 daily invites will be issued in the first stage.

Released in late 2009, Aptoide is now targeting smartphones and tablets, smart TVs, as well as VR devices. A version specifically tailored for kids is also available. This online marketplace for mobile apps is now ready to hit iOS in the form of a gaming-focused app store for users located in the European Union. Scheduled to launch tomorrow, it will debut as the first third-party iOS app store for gamers since the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA) was adopted.

EU cogs move slow, that's why Apple drags this out in this way.

At least they move in the right direction.
