AltStore 1.5 Release Candidate Now Available!

Happy release day everyone!

Following the release of AltServer 1.5 RC a few weeks ago, we're excited to announce that AltStore 1.5 RC is also now available! This is the final beta before AltStore 1.5 is released to the public, so we appreciate you all testing this out before the final version. We plan to release both AltServer 1.5 and AltStore 1.5 next week — and from that point on we'll be free to work on some exciting updates to Delta! 

Here's what's new in this RC:

AltServer 1.5 Release Candidate Now Available

Happy April everyone!

Yes, you read that subject correctly — the release candidate of AltServer 1.5 is FINALLY here! We know you've been waiting for this for a long time, and we appreciate your patience as we've worked hard to polish up all the bugs.

Thankfully the previous AltServer beta appears to be pretty stable, so this RC focuses on just a few last-minute fixes to make the AltServer 1.5 experien...

AltServer 1.5b11: Bug Fixes for macOS AND Windows

Hi Patrons! You are getting another Shane post today, so get excited :)

Today we are releasing a new beta for AltServer that will fix a few things for both macOS and Windows (hooray Windows getting some much needed love!) Here's what we have for you:

- macOS AltServer will now be able to update the Mail plug-in automatically without needing to separately update AltServer as well  🎉

- Windows AltServer now has better error handling  and no longer crashes due to u...

AltStore 1.5b4 - Fixes iOS 13 crash-on-launch

Hi all,

First, I want to acknowledge the tragic injustice unfolding in Ukraine. As you may have seen on Twitter, Shane and I will be donating 20% of this month's Patreon earnings to the Ukrainian Red Cross to support those impacted by the war. We've also updated the AltStore News tab with a link to a resource guide listing several ways our community can help, so we recommend checking that out if you'd also like to #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦

As for today's beta, it's one I'm sure m...

AltServer 1.5b10: macOS 12.3 beta Quick Fix

Hi everyone, it's Shane here, reporting that Riley and I (mostly me) have fixed the AltServer Mail plug-in not loading on yesterday's Monterey 12.3 beta. The public version AltServer 1.4.9 and beta AltServer 1.5b10 are now available with this fix, which you can find attached to this Patreon post.

Those running macOS can now update their version. As per usual with macOS-specific updates, Windows users can continue to run the latest AltServer beta (1.5b8).

A New Chapter for AltStore

Happy February y’all!

I have some exciting news: starting today I’m bringing on my best friend Shane Gill to handle the business side of AltStore. I realized a few months ago that I simply couldn’t continue running AltStore by myself; as the business grew, I was spending more and more time keeping everything afloat and less time actually building & improving the product. However, I knew whoever I brought on would need to fully understand the business inside-an...

AltServer 1.5b9: macOS 12.1 Quick Fix

Another short and sweet update for y'all today! 

Yesterday I released AltServer 1.4.8 for macOS which fixed the Mail plug-in not loading on Monterey 12.1 or later. However this was just the public version, so I'm happy to now say AltServer 1.5b9 with support for macOS 12.1 is also now available!

Besides adding support for macOS 12.1, this beta also includes one minor UI change: the "Sideload .ipa" menu option is now hidden by default (as seen...

Delta 1.3.1b: AltJIT + missing game artwork fix

I realize it's been a while since the last Delta beta, so I'm excited to share that Delta 1.3.1b is now available — a short-but-sweet update with some timely changes 🎉

⚡️ Primarily, in preparation for the impending public release of AltJIT, I've now added AltJIT support directly to Delta! When enabled in the melonDS core settings, Delta will now automatically enable JIT for DS games when on the same WiFi as AltServer, which will unlock much bet...

AltStore 1.5b2 + AltServer 1.5b8: iOS 15.1 Support & AltJIT Fixes

As several of you have noticed, Apple released new betas for iOS 15.1 since my last post — which unfortunately no longer support the code signature AltStore uses to re-sign apps. These hiccups are not unexpected, but nonetheless are annoying to deal with since they require me to pause ongoing development in order to debug the issue. Thankfully, I've now identified the change, so AltStore now fully supports the new iOS 15.1 code signature, allowing you to resume sideloading ...

AltStore 1.5b + AltServer 1.5b7 - AltJIT Improvements

Thanks for all your bug reports regarding AltJIT! I've spent the past couple months tweaking the implementation and fixing bugs to make the process as seamless as possible, and although it has taken a bit longer than I would've liked I'm very happy with the progress I've made — which means I have new betas ready for testing 🎉

The biggest change with these betas is that you can now enable JIT for any sideloaded app directly from within AltStore. Previously, manually...

AltServer 1.5b6 - AltJIT bug fixes + Windows support

Last month, I released the first macOS AltServer beta with support for AltJIT, my new workaround to enable JIT on iOS 14 or later (including iOS 15!). Unfortunately, it turns out that beta shipped with a major bug that made it almost impossible to actually use JIT...whoops 😅 The good news is I've now fixed that issue, so AltServer 1.5b6 with support for AltJIT is now available for both Mac and Windows!

To enable JIT, launch ...

iOS 15, macOS Monterey, and JIT Support

Been a while since my last update, hope you've all been enjoying playing Nintendo DS games with Delta!

As some of you may know, the first iOS 15 beta was released to developers last week, and unfortunately it introduced a new code signature version that prevented AltStore and any sideloaded apps from launching. The good news is I've spent the past week reverse engineering this new code signature version, and I believe I've finally cracked it 🥳 As a result, AltStore 1.4.6b and...
