Apple: now iOS is open in Brazil; see what changes
Summary
Apple is changing iOS rules in Brazil so developers can distribute apps through alternative app stores and process digital payments outside the App Store. The change follows a recent agreement with CADE and applies to developers in Brazil starting with iOS 26.5. Apple is also adding notarization, store authorization, and child-safety protections to reduce fraud and security risks. Developers gain more control over distribution and payments, while Apple’s commission-based app economy in Brazil becomes less central. The update does not include Pix support in Apple Pay.
