AltStore 2.0 RC - Custom App Icons!
🕑 Added 2024-02-23 20:02:26 +0000 UTCHowdy Patrons,
AltStore 2.0 RC is now available! This update includes all the last bits of polish before we release 2.0 for everyone — including our brand new icon ✨ But we didn’t stop with just one, we also added over 15 unique app icons for you to choose from and customize AltStore however you’d like 🎨
This also includes the last few bug fixes to prepare for the public version of 2.0, which we plan to release next month. Thank you for all the help testing this release - we couldn’t do any of this without you!
As for the EU version of AltStore, please stay tuned. We’ll have more to share on that shortly 🙂
Best,
Riley + Shane

I can’t link my Patreon to AltStore app
Riley + Shane
New Members! We have made edits to the FAQ instructions as there is an issue with AltStore 1.7 and Patreon. If you download the beta AltServer version attached to this post and use it to install the AltStore Beta, this will grant access and allow you to connect your Patreon. Sorry for the inconvenience! Please DM us if you still can't get access.

Pavel Pacák

Ducu Haribo
Yeah ,no beta pops after updating the patreon . I guess it is inside the app already
Aristeidis Fragkiadakis

Adam Sardo
Anyone else having issues linking their Patreon to AltStore?
Jan Dudek
Okay, thank you for the answer. I'll wait for the next course of action around alternative stores.

You need to install regular AltStore through regular AltServer then link Patreon account inside AltStore from your phone
Jan Dudek
Hi, to install the beta directly on my phone, I still need an AltServer on my PC to link my Patreon account. Do I understand this correctly? Thanks!
Luca
to understand better, download from altstore standard procedure, then make it beta? in the future if all goes well, will I have to download other non-beta versions, or will I update the one I have without losing saves or settings? thanks for the clarification
Riley + Shane
Hi Ian! Apologies that the EU version has been taking some time, but we will look into these comments soon. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback :)
Will Andrew
How do you download this on iOS?
Smelly-Ghost
Will do!
Riley + Shane
Send us a DM and we'll try to see what we can do!
Smelly-Ghost
+1 to having my Patreon pledge showing as expired in the AltStore beta app but not in the mainline release.
Smelly-Ghost
Yeah my AltStore beta is showing as pledge expired but the regular AltStore shows the pledge still ongoing. Must be an issue in the current version?

Edward Vargas
Is there somethign wrong with downloading the youtube app? Because no matter which version I try to download it doesn't seem to work.
Ian Brown
Sorry, ignore the part about building from source, I think I see that you actually can!

Great work as usual on AltStore, AltServer, and the latest features! I understand iOS 17's got some unique challenges regarding JIT Streaming. That all said, there's a couple things I'd really appreciate and like to see and would benefit everyone here greatly: - A Guide to Uninstalling and Reinstalling AltJIT for iOS 17 (macOS section) - AltJIT Compilation - Containers - Looking into ‘MobileDevice’? - Some sort of official containerization (for stable and/or unstable releases) - Homebrew availability - Multiple Account Management - Better “Check for Updates” Button More Uninstall, Cleanup Guides (esp. for AltJIT): Providing uninstall instructions alongside installation guides is a helpful rule of thumb and verbose error messaging. I've encountered errors (both addressed in the docs and not) after following the provided instructions, and it's been confusing and frustrating not being able to easily not to recreate or rollback to prior setups to better understand what and where things are going wrong, especially with the Beta. AltJIT Compilation: If it’s not possible already, I would love to be able to have the option to compile AltJIT from source. Containers: Having some official containerization would be great for beta and stable releases, especially when it comes to troubleshooting issues. “MobileDevice”: Looking into JIT Streaming and the errors I’ve gotten from trying to enable AltJIT, I came across MobileDevice ** and wonder if it might help? A “CLI for Apple's Private (Closed) Mobile Device Framework” (Homebrew) and am just wondering if you think it could help with the current iOS 17 issues at all? * https://github.com/imkira/mobiledevice * https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/mobiledevice#default Speaking of Homebrew…. Homebrew Integration!: Exploring the possibility of including AltStore, AltJIT, etc. in Homebrew would be great. Multiple Account Management: Since AltStore uses a signing slot, could we get an easier way (UX/UI) to switch or manage multiple accounts both in desktop and mobile application? Would to have the option to save my credentials and just select a desired account to sign X app with from like a dropdown list. Providing a count next to account names showing remaining signing slots would be helpful. Check for Updates Button: For the beta releases of AltServer the Check for Updates button doesn’t work, it always just says I’m up to date even when there's been a new beta release.

Any chance of fixing the "persistent store migration" error? (NSCocoaErrrorDomain Code 134110)
Riley + Shane
Google seems to be having some issues when signing in through the store page. The best way to fix this is to relaunch the app and sign in through settings. If you still have any issues, please send us a DM so we can respond in more detail there.
Alex
The mac attachment is still 1.8b! Please attach the updated one!

Rj mcflarjay
I have the similar issue. Mainly just trying to connect the Google account to Patreon.
Riley + Shane
Let me know if you still have issues. There are some problems with google if you try to sign in anywhere besides Settings - sorry for the inconvenience!
JChin Cruz
Idk what to do I keep getting the message -There is no provisioning profile with the requested identifier on this team- Whenever I try to download Delta.
Jahquil Valentine
You have to fix it on you computer & restart your device after deleting the alt store/beta

Hey with this update, it now says my pledge expired and it won’t let me relogin with my google account.
