However, Aptoide has recently expanded its presence on iOS through different methods: Official iOS Web Version

As of April 2026, Aptoide for iOS is officially available as the first free alternative app store for iPhone, following Apple's compliance with the EU's Digital Markets Act. Unlike the Android version which uses .apk files, the iOS version functions as a dedicated marketplace for gaming apps and does not typically provide standalone .ipa links for manual sideloading due to Apple's notarization requirements.

Aptoide has attempted to launch an iOS version in the past using Apple’s Enterprise Certificate program. That program allows companies to distribute internal apps without the App Store. However, Apple quickly revoked those certificates because Aptoide violated the rules by making the store available to the general public.
