Looks like it’s really happening
Hang on folks, this is just approving Delta’s app notarization for the EU AltStore release. This is not a US App Store approval.
Actually it allows emulators on the standard Apple AppStore (after review). Ignited is working of submitting. Edit: source right from Apple’s website. This is the review guidelines for all apps on the AppStore, not just Europe. My guess is that they decided to include the emulators to keep control and retain customers in their store instead of them going elsewhere in EU. And they had to make it the same rule all over to keep it consistent.

How do I get altstore? Will it work on an iPad?
Installing AltStore on your US-based iPad or iPhone is pretty straightforward, as simple as sideloading can get in 2024, tbh. You will need a PC or Mac to do it, however.
