Happy October y’all!
Yesterday I released AltStore 1.4 beta 8, which should be the last beta before the public release of AltStore 1.4. I originally planned for last week’s beta (1.4 beta 7) to be the last, but that shipped with a major bug that broke AltDaemon for all Odyssey jailbreakers which I needed to fix ASAP. Thankfully I’ve done just that, so there are finally no known major issues remaining 🙌
What can you expect in this (and last week’s) beta? By far the most exciting feature is a new iOS 14 home screen widget. You can now place AltStore widgets anywhere on the home screen to track when sideloaded apps expire, so you don’t forget to refresh you apps ever again. AltStore only supports the “small” widget size for now, but additional sizes that can display information about multiple apps at once are planned for future updates 👍
Additionally, beta 8 also includes initial support for customizing sideloaded app icons. From the My Apps tab, you can now long press an app to change its home screen icon to anything you want. This feature most likely won’t ship in the public 1.4 version due to minor bugs I still need to address, but I’m very excited for this feature given the hype over customizing home screens and I’d love to hear your feedback!
Thanks to your help beta testing, AltStore 1.4 is finally just about ready for public release! I can’t wait to share all these new features with everyone soon — and then go back to porting Delta to Mac and iPad 😄

anyone else getting “incorrect format” when logging in?

You can link your beta account access in AltStore under Settings in the Patreon tab; This will allow you to download the beta versions of AltStore and Delta. The "Free Developer Account" type refers to your Apple ID not having a Developer account purchased from Apple ($100), which would allow you to activate more than 3 sideloaded apps at a time.

Hope we get one soon
Marc Gervais
We all need a response soon..... I've also reached out on Twitter. Nothing.
jamie
Anyone know how to fix
Steven w
Me too?
Tatsu

jamie
That has happened to me as well, can’t download or see any beta versions :(
Marc Gervais
Noticing in previous comments, they message you can direct message them. But I don't see that option. Hope I didn't just get screwed.

How can i play in italian with a Delta beta (rom multi language) ?
Milton Brown
I have the alt store and also pay each month I think it’s crazy since the app never works please help
Noé Valenzuela
It's not. The DS emulator in this is pretty bare bones in terms of bells and whistles. Actually running the games is fantastic though, which can't be said for other emulators. So I play on Delata mainly and do bonuses and stuff that requires features like this on MelonDS for Windows, moving my saves between them as necessary.
Eduardo Cruz
How do delete app I’d to make room?

Does anyone know if there is a way to load GBA roms through the DS emulator? For example, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow for the DS grants you a bonus item if you have Aria of Sorrow in the GBA slot.
Matt Moon
Also, I’m having trouble downloading the bios for melonds
Matt Moon
Can you fast forward ds emulation through DeSmuME?
Harold Icaza
I havent been able to install AltServer on my Iphone! The install never starts
Prod Mellz
and the extensions take up a slot in alt store so technically I can only have one app installed with the 3 slots kinda sucks
Prod Mellz

Hi I didn’t refresh my apps in time last week i tried refreshing had to delete everything and reinstall and all my data is gone. I also noticed dolphin is no longer featured in the altstore. Is something go on?
Toby de Young
I have the exact same issue, would love to see a fix for this in upcoming updates. Love your work Riley!
Sean Leathem
Subscribe to the Apple Developer Program which will cost $99/yr, then you won't have to refresh them.
Aarvin Mehrok
I have a question is there a way to make the refresh time longer then 7 days.

Can we get the issue of altstore reverting back to old apple I'd fixed? I had to change my appleid and now even though I log in successfully into altstore with my new I'd on the status page is shows my old I'd. Of course when it goes to do the background update I get the error about invalid info. Very annoying to say the least.
Leo
I have this problem now too, and have unlinked and linked my Patreon account multiple times, but do not see a Beta version for Delta
j
Try unlinking your account and relinking, I had to do that.
Jimmy Hadden
same is also happening to me
Jared Cole
Hello, I become a patron and linked my account to the AltStore app on my iPhone 8s. After linking my account and becoming a patron, it still just says 'become a patron' and doesn't offer downloads to any betas. How do I fix this? Tried to message you, but it wouldn't go through
Nahim
None of the apps I have sideloaded on my phone have any widgets that show up except for the AltStore Widget ... and I have a Paid developer membership
Medo Al haddad

Blondi

Nahim
Why don’t these Widgets show up for me?? The only one that I have is the AltStore Widget...
Nahim
Do you know how long it will be ???
James Armstrong
Got it thanks anyway. Apple ID Email in app and patreon email need to match.
James Armstrong
I’ve been a patron for a couple months and I haven’t been able to install any betas. The app doesn’t show me any updates. Still on 1.3.6. How do I update to try betas?
Adam Venny
Hi the widgets have stopped working now on the new update 1.4b8 of AltStore I’m running iOS 14.0.1 plus is there any updates on when AltStore will be fixed for iOS 14.2 beta 2
Jona Kats
Different question, anyone else having issues getting the widget to show up? I’m on iOS 13 trying to get it to work on the jailbroken side of things, but it won’t even show up in the Siri search. Any suggestions or will it just not work in my case. Thank you.
Steffen Penschinski

Nahim

Nahim

Updated, no issues like last time with no server on AltStore. Those of us who experienced issues should be good this time. No need to reinstall AltDaemon.
Nahim
Like it literally does not even Open at all on IOS 14.2 BETA 2!!!
Steffen Penschinski
can't find new altstore setup for IOS 14.2 Beta2, no Update, no answer, strange
Klaus Henschel
i have no desire to pay every month without it working!
Klaus Henschel
Hey, since the update iOS 14.2 Beta 2 your app does not work on Windows 10 anymore. The server can be installed (1.4 beta) but will not start. The profile in the settings is activated ... When is there an update?
Anthony Wheeler
Where is this update? I don't see it anywhere? Posted?
Mecid
Hey Riley, I wanted to ask you if you could look into the windows altserver. Because after a period of time it doesn’t work and you have to restart it. (The Application works but shows no devices and can’t be found by AltStore until you restart it)
Riley + Shane

Steffen Penschinski
"Please look in your AltStore app for this update!" Ok, no Update at Windows APP and the APP at the IPad I can't open.
