Huge if true! Anyone in Euroland can confirm this?

Just installed it as a test. The prompts were a bit non-obvious (in true Apple fashion, I needed to go to the settings to click a special menu option to actually permit the installation) and I think my face was scanned about three times by FaceID, but it works.

My Safari on iOS doesn't give a prompt for accepting the marketplace like in the instruction video. No notifications in the iOS settings either. Using Brave, fownload website complains I don't have iOS 17.6 installed even though I have 17.6.1. And they don't seem to support Firefox on iOS. So seems like the installation process still has some rough edges.

Yes, it works, but Apple didn’t put too much effort in user friendlyness: Note: In non-Safari (e.g. Firefox) browser nothing happens when you click the button. You must use Safari directly. Install process is as follows: 1. You visit the page and click the button. 2. You get a prompt, and need to confirm. You may also not get a prompt. 3. Go to the iOS Settings and below the first section (profile section) there is a button to give permission to a new app store. 4. Then you return to the browser and click the button again, and the app store installs and appears on your home screen.

  Can confirm, the install process is ridiculously over complicated...

Except for the "App Installation" subsection where you have to approve/manage alternative app stores. Surely just a regrettable oversight by a singular engineer that unfortunately made it past QA. And that also wasn't caught when they reorganized a lot of the subsections for the iOS 18 beta. Unlucky. :)
