AltStore 2.0b6 - A Magical Browsing Experience
🕑 Added 2023-12-13 19:53:51 +0000 UTCHappy Holidays Patrons 🎁
As we go into the holidays and finish out 2023, we're also finally finishing development on AltStore 2.0. But before we release 2.0 for everyone, we have a few more very exciting updates to share :)
First, we are introducing a completely redesigned Browse tab with 3 main sections:
✨ New & Updated: See what apps were recently updated from any of your sources, allowing you to see the latest changes at a glance.
🏷️ Categories: Apps can now be sorted into one of 8 categories for easier navigation - it's like we're a real app store now!
🏆 Featured: Scroll through to quickly see what are the top apps from all your sources, or tap 'See All' to view a complete list
Along with this comes a new sorting button in the top right when you view all apps for either a Category or Source. We hope this new browsing experience makes it easier to keep up with the apps you love as well as discover new experiences as you add more apps to your store.
We’ve also added an important security feature: AltStore will now ask you to review permissions when downloading an app. This new ‘Review Permissions’ screen will list all entitlements required by the app along with descriptions of what they do so you know exactly what you’re installing. Plus, when you're updating an app, you'll be asked to review all added entitlements since the previous version.
Most of all, we're excited to add full Patreon integration for developers! Now developers can distribute exclusive apps to their Patrons through AltStore, which means you will now be able to donate to your favorite developers and download their apps all within AltStore. It should be noted that we take no percentage of any sales, so the full donation amounts go directly to developers.
We're so happy that all developers will now have the opportunity to distribute apps with Patreon like we do, and if you want to learn more about how to do this, we've added documentation to our FAQ: https://faq.altstore.io/distribute-your-apps/patreon-integration
Lastly, we have a minor update for AltServer that should fix any AltJIT issues with the latest version of pymobiledevice3. You can update to the latest version of pymobiledevice3 by using this command:
python3 -m pip install -U pymobiledevice3
We're aiming to release 2.0 early next year, and we can't thank you enough for helping us reach this point. We hope you all have a wonderful end to your year and get 2024 started off right!

AltJIT on iOS 17 is currently not supported with Windows
EthanVampz
I was wondering if Retroachievements will ever be a thing for Delta?
Alex Bratu
I have a bug preventing me from installing the beta but no one is replying to help requests
EpicLPer
I've sent you a DM in regards of the non-working Patreon linking in AltStore, as mentioned in another comment. Could this be fixed soon please? It's a bit annoying by now, tho not meant in a negative way.
Aaron Soderholm
That's an Apple limitation not AltServer's. The only way around that is to pay Apple $99/year for a developer account.
Rifat Ahammed Sani
What the point of becoming a patreon if I had to wait for 7days to install more apps😒
Niccy
same, have tried everything but nothing seems to work
Riley + Shane
If you are having this issue, please send me a DM for a temporary fix while we work on a complete patch.

I also have had this issue running iOS 17.3

Will this work with iOS 17.3
Riley + Shane
Hi Jason! Sorry you are having trouble, and if this is still an issue, please send us a DM and we'll see if we can't find a solution and report back for everyone here
Riley + Shane
We have gotten some reports on this issue, though they also reported that it resolved itself. Is this still an issue after reconnecting your Patreon? Please send us a DM if not
Jason Crawford
Unable to connect Patreon with this build. I can get through oAuth and allow access but every time it sends me back to the app I get "Operation Failed. The data couldn't be read because it is missing."
Harry Peters
This update broke my Patreon link. I am logged in and connected, but AltStore says my pledge has expired (it definitely hasn’t) and refuses to let me refresh it…

enabling jit still not working unfortunately, iPad or iPhone, iOS 17. getting this error: The process 'altjit' failed with code 1. Could not connect to device 00008103-000968CC2287001E. The process 'python3' returned unexpected output. KeyError: EnumIntegerString.new(3, 'PUBLIC_KEY')

I keep getting error code 134110 "An error occurred during persistent store migration." is there anyway to fix that?
Sagi
still getting the same AltJIT developer disk image error on windows. I'm using iOS 17.
Riley + Shane
This only patches up an issue specific to the latest version of pymobiledevice3. Otherwise, yes, you still need to plug your device into your Mac to enable JIT on iOS 17

"Lastly, we have a minor update for AltServer that should fix any AltJIT issues with the latest version of pymobiledevice3." This isn't very clear, I'm assuming WiFi AltJIT is still not possible with iOS 17?
Olivia Iacovou
not a fan of the ai generated image (not saying art, its not)
