AltStore 2.0b5 - A New Home For Sources!
🕑 Added 2023-10-23 19:20:32 +0000 UTCHowdy Patrons!
🚀 AltStore 2.0b5 is now available! This release features some important changes as well as major UI updates, including optimized support for screenshots and an all-new Sources tab 🎉
The new Sources tab makes adding and managing sources a much better experience. Every source now gets a unique colored banner listing the total apps in that source, which you can tap to view the full source page. We’ve also completely rethought the UI for adding new sources to make it more intuitive, and we’d love to hear what you think!
We’ve also revamped AltStore to better handle screenshots from newer iOS devices. Apps can now include both iPhone and iPad screenshots, and screenshots taken with Face ID iPhones will have their corners automatically rounded. You can also now view full-screen previews by tapping them from the app detail screen and even swipe through all screenshots straight from the Browse tab.
And for source creators, we’ve also made a number of improvements such as a simplified `appPermissions` format, removing the need for an `identifier`, and improved error messages. We’ve updated our FAQ with more detailed information, so be sure to check it out:
Best,
Riley + Shane

I'm assuming it isnt possible, but is there a way the beta version of the app can just overwrite the non-beta? For some reason when I get to day 7, it forces me to delete and install altstore from scratch. My apps data is still there, but to change to the beta, I need to delete something, and because altstore didn't save the data it gets deleted... Am I missing something, or is this the design? I'll always have to sacrifice one app.... And it can't be provenance because they won't let me export my save files for some reason! Idk maybe I'm being silly, might be time just to pay for the developer account.
