Delta 1.5rc2 - Hot Fix for Delta Sync

Howdy Patrons!

We are once again here asking you to update Delta to fix an issue with syncing. We swear this is the last one (hopefully)!

TL;DR We found a bug during our last-minute testing that could cause un-synced save data to be overwritten by older remote versions. This beta includes a fix for this bug, as well as another issue causing data to be incorrectly marked as conflicted.

We recommend updating to this version ASAP to ensure everything is properly synced. Please ...

AltStore 2.0b7 - Hot Fix for Linking Patreon Accounts

Hi y'all,

We are aware of a bug in the previous beta that prevented some users from refreshing AltStore or downloading our beta apps. We're very sorry for the inconvenience, and we now have a quick fix available that should hopefully address this issue.

If you are experiencing this issue and are unable to update through the app, you can manually update AltStore by reinstalling it with the appropriate attached AltServer (you do not need to delete AltStore first!). ...

Delta 1.5 RC: Thanks for Playing!

Happy Thanksgiving Patrons 🦃

Before we take a short break this week to see our families, we wanted to release one last Delta update. This update is focused primarily on polishing up all the existing features from the previous 1.5 betas to prepare for a final release, but there are still a few tweaks included for y'all.

In addition to a few minor UI tweaks, such as showing the AirPlay icon while AirPlaying, one change of note is that we have added a "Repair Database" option in E...

AltServer 1.7rc (macOS): Goodbye Mail Plug-in!

Happy Friday Patrons!

AltServer 1.7rc is now available for all Mac users - no Mail Plug-in required! Because macOS Sonoma removed support for Mail Plug-ins, this update eliminates that requirement for all macOS users 🎉

We'll be back soon with...

AltStore 2.0b3 + AltServer 1.7b1: The iOS 17 Update

Howdy Patrons!

🚀 AltStore 2.0b3 is now available and optimized for iOS 17!

First and foremost, this update features our new interactive “active apps” widget ⏳ You can now see the remaining days for ALL your active apps at once, but most importantly you can also tap the timers to refresh them directly from the home screen (we’ve also updated the original widget to be interactive). Not only that, but macOS Sonoma users can also add these widgets to their desktops!

Update on macOS Sonoma, AltJIT, and what's next

Hey Everyone!

We want to give a quick update on what we’ve been working on recently. As you may be aware, iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma changed some things AltStore relies on to work properly. Thankfully, these issues are all fixable, and while we plan to have updates available soon, this is where we currently stand:

First, iOS 17 changed the “developer disk” process used by libimobiledevice to communicate with iOS devices over WiFi. AltServer uses libimobiledevic...

AltStore's WWDC Debut 🍎

Hi y'all,

We’re making a public post today to let everyone know we’ll be spending next week at WWDC! We don’t have tickets to the keynote, but we’re headed out to Apple’s campus anyway to meet up with some fellow indie devs and learn all about  the new things coming this year. In fact, rumors are they may actually add support for sideloading in iOS 17 (at least for our EU friends), so hopefully we’ll get to hear more about what that means 🤞

For anyone else who ...

As you may have noticed, yesterday there was a server-side change made by Apple resulting in a “there is no provisioning profile with the requested identifier on this team” error message when refreshing apps.

Hi All,

Quick, small update today. As mentioned in the previous post, we are releasing a “dummy” update for AltStore with no changes to test that updating is working as expected from the current beta.

AltStore and AltServer 1.6b4 - Checking App Compatibility 💜

Hey everyone!

AltStore 1.6b4 is now available with a few more improvements and an important feature as we move towards AltStore 2.0: checking whether updates are compatible with your iOS version.

This is important because AltStore 2.0 will require iOS 15 or later, and we want to make su...

Happy November Everyone! 🦃

This year, AltStore is participating in “No Bad Errors November” by revamping our error handling to better assist you when something goes wrong! Previously, error messages were purposefully condensed to fit inside AltStore’s small alert bubbles…which meant potentially useful information was being discarded 🙀

To fix this, we now include as much information as possible with each error, such as recovery suggestions or even the exact line of co...
