Expected to launch in just a week or so, iOS 17.4 has inadvertently become one of the biggest OS updates in some time, and the latest release candidate shows why.
Available to developers and testers, the iOS 17.4 release candidate has just launched and comes with support for alternate app stores — something that has been begrudgingly in the works at Apple for a long time. This is thanks to the Digital Markets Act that is being enforced in March and only applies to EU storefronts. This will affect both huge entities like Epic Games, which has been embroiled in a long lawsuit with the company, and smaller developers who want to test out new stores without Apple’s watchful eye over them. Back in January, Epic Games announced Fortnite would be coming back to iPhone with some caveats and, just last week, Epic Games’ developer account was reinstated.
