AltStore 1.5b + AltServer 1.5b7 - AltJIT Improvements
🕑 Added 2021-09-16 20:23:30 +0000 UTCThanks 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 enabling AltJIT could only be done from the AltServer menu — now, just long-press an app in AltStore's "My Apps" tab, choose "Enable JIT" from the context menu, and AltStore will do the rest!
Additionally, I've now published the first version of AltKit, my new Swift Package that app developers can integrate with their apps to automatically enable JIT whenever they're on the same WiFi as AltServer. Some apps such as DolphiniOS and Provenance have already integrated AltKit, which means you can use JIT without having to manually enable it with AltStore/AltServer first. You can find the latest version of AltKit here: https://github.com/rileytestut/AltKit
Besides that though, there are also a bunch of smaller changes related to AltJIT (as well as some other quality-of-life improvements), so here are the highlights for each new beta:
AltStore 1.5 beta
* Adds "Enable JIT" context menu for active apps
* Adds "Open" context menu action for active apps
* Supports sideloading apps that use AltKit (such as DolphiniOS and Provenance)
* Asks user to deactivate an app first when installing a new app without any free app slots
* Fixes incorrect navigation and tab bar appearances on iOS 15
* Improves error message when computer date & time don't match iOS device
AltServer 1.5 beta 7 (macOS)
* Supports sideloading apps that use AltKit (such as DolphiniOS and Provenance)
* Mail plug-in supports latest macOS 12 Monterey beta
* Improves stability when enabling JIT
AltServer 1.5 beta 7 (Windows)
* Supports apps activating AltJIT over WiFi via AltKit
* Supports sideloading apps that use AltKit (such as DolphiniOS and Provenance)
* Fixes potential crash when fetching installed apps for connected devices
* Fixes accidentally ignoring authentication errors when installing AltStore
* Fixes sideloading apps without app groups
* Improves error messages
Now that iOS 15 is just about here, I want to release these updates ASAP; assuming there aren't any major bugs discovered, I'm planning to do that by the end of the month. As always though, please continue to report any bugs you discover in the AltStore Discord or by direct messaging me, and I'll do my best to respond to them all as soon as I can 🙂
NOTE: Windows users, make sure to uninstall AltServer before installing this beta to ensure it updates properly.

Hi Riley I’m having an issue getting hit enabled, I’m on iOS 15.1 in iPad mini 6th gen. When I try and enable JIT with a side loaded app like play! Or dolphinios I get an error message that says Failed to Contact AltJIT running AltServer is The operation couldn't be completed ir device. AltServer does not support this request”.
Morris Huang
Unfortunately mail says it is not compatible with Mail 15.0

JIT not working at all. What is the issue?
Mishaiel
I joined the patreon for JIT support. But now it's not working. Please give us a fix as there's no point paying for the patreon if it doesn't serve the purpose.
Sinatraa
still no fix for app crashing, what am I even paying for????????
Sinatraa
any fix for the app crashing?? kinda sucks paying for something that is obviously broken and has been for quite a while now

I'm on iOS 13.5 btw

Same here. Trying to reinstall altstore on my iphone through a windows computer and once altstore is installed on my iphone the app doesn't open. I've already made sure to trust it on Device Management through my iphone but still doesn't work. Anyone have any idea how to fix it?
Karzai

I'm on Windows 10. I'm running AltServer 1.5b7 off this post. On my iPhone 11 I have AltStore 1.5b3 Using DiOS Beta. Long-tap on the app in the AltStore and I see "Enable JIT". Tap, it goes to Dolphin and I get "AltServer does not support this request." iOS 15.1 I'm not seeing "Enable JIT" in the context menu for AltServer running by the tray - and clicking "Check for updates" says I'm up to date, AltServer 1.4.7.0 is the newest version available. But my AltServer.exe, imobiledevice.dll, ldid.dll, usbmuxd.dll and plist.dll have build dates of 9/15/2021. What am I doing wrong?

Jack Nelson
So I installed this on my phone, and it worked fine, but everything ahs expired and I wanted to reinstall Alt Store, but now Altserver cannot find my phone.
Eren Sarikaya
same problem
This beta version fixed a crashing issue I was having on 1.4.7, thanks for AltStore/AltServer!

Mail plugin never gets installed. MBP M1 Pro, Monterey 12.0.1
Marc Morency
it doesnt work
Matt Apperson
Support for activating AltJIT over WiFi seems to be broken when requesting it from the context menu? It goes to that app, but JIT is still not enabled. If I enable it from the jet server menu though it works just fine.
Mr.Space
ios 15.2 beta 3 the app installs but keeps crashing
David
Yes, if you downgrade to the latest public release 1.4.7 the mail plugin works again. Yes, you will loose the added features of the paid for beta, and I have emailed the team about this but have yet to hear anything back from them yet.
Alex
Did you find a way to fix this? the same happens to me, cannot active mailplugin with my MacBook pro on Monterey.
Menno van Leeuwen
Seems like the latest mail plugin is broken for me with my Mac mini on Monterey and my iPadOS 15.1 it shows the plugin is not compatible. And it is not detecting my iPad.
Leonard Brandt
Hi there Riley, I am battling with this, I subscribed to your beta service, running an iPad M1 256 gig and an M1 Mac mini with Monterey on also the 256 version Now everything works fine, Iinstall it on my iPad, but the icon does not show up if I search the App Library, no alt server etc. If I go to manage storage in settings it shows up there, but there is no way to launch it or view it. I am running the lates public versions of IOS and Monterey and the latest beta of Altserver/store
Richard-K
how about iOS14.8.1? also doesn't work anymore after the iOS update, please fix it. Thanks

"An error occurred while installing the app. Application is missing the application-identifier entitlement." How can I solve it?
Pedro Gonzalez
For someone new like me, what is JIT used for?
Nick Papageorge
You need to install the Apple.com version of iCloud, it sucks but that seems to be the only way to do it. Which means presently you lose access to things like iCloud Passwords which, while not ideal, still worked well.
Nick Papageorge
Also, after all is said and done I have the exact same issues as with the previous beta. I'm on an iPhone 13 Pro Max, running the current public beta. Altstore opens and immediately closes when I try to launch it on my device. Hopefully there's an easy fix?
Nick Papageorge
Question - is there no way at all to have both the Windows Store version of iCloud AND the apple.com version installed? I rely HEAVILY on the iCloud passwords function and just noticed that I lose that without the Windows Store version installed. Or can I just reinstall the Windows version after I have Altstore installed...?
Marc Morency
it worked 3 times out of 10 in the previous version on my 13 pro...
Zachary Silveira
Does this not work with the latest iphones? Specifically the 13 pro?

My AltStore is crashing on iOS 15.1 Beta 3
Lady Riley
My sideloaded apps are crashing (iOS 15.1 Beta 3)
Gregg Jensen
I don’t see a download link for the new AltStore. Is it someplace else? Oh wait update within the AppStore app itself…. yep, I will leave this up here in case there are any other first time updaters.
Andrew
Works flawlessly on iPhone 13 Pro 15.0.1! JIT is fiddly I have to activate it on the computer side not through the AltStore app. DolphiniOS runs like a dream on Vulkan with it. Thank you Riley!
Daniel
Yeah the plugin doesn't seem to work on the latest Monterey beta...
Everyday Piano
Great job!

Mail plugin seems to have problems with the lastest beta again. It's not even listed in the settings, even after trying the fixes in https://www.reddit.com/r/AltStore/comments/om3z64/solution_to_incompatible_mail_plugin_for_macos/

Does anyone know if there is a way to make apps appear on altstore that you sideloaded from mac?

Guys I’m on an ipad Pro M1 14.8 just downgraded from 15.0 and JIT doesn’t seem to work anymore. I receive an error 'operation could not be completed (com.Riley.Testut.Altserver error -1) anyone had the same problem?
No, it is borked. I updated without checking here first.
Nahim
When is the the AltStore Beta Fix for iOS 15.1 Gonna be Released???
Tùng Phan
It work with ios 15.1 b2?
Cerinza
Altjit works great on Windows, tried it on Dolphinios, but the app has to be running in the background. If you close the app, you have to enable it again. I wish it would remain enabled even after closing the app.
Lasith K
I'm running IOS 15.0 on my iPad Pro 11' (2nd Gen). Unfortunately, I was not able to get JIT to activate through AltServer Beta through WiFi. However, I was able to successfully activate JIT when my iPad was connected to my computer via a USB-C cable. I've tested that I am able to refresh apps through AltStore, over WiFi. Nevertheless, excited to play some childhood games on my iPad Pro. You've done a brilliant job here
Bilaal Raja
Jhee you sound pissed, sorry if I’ve offended you
Can't seem to get the plugin to install. Run the installation of the mail plug-in (no errors) but no matter restarts of Mail, they don't show up as a plug-in in Mail.
Dale Watts
Any luck with my issue?
Alexander Dennant
it appears something in the 15.1 update has fried the apps

iOS 15.1 beta on my 13 Pro Max seems to have killed my AltStore. Keeps crashing each time I open it, even after re-install.

I'm having problems installing altserver. It keeps saying provisioning profile is invalid. I'm on 15.0 iPhone 13 Pro Max. Please can you help?

Enabling JIT through ALTstore doesn't seem to work consistently. Selecting the option switches to the apps, but then apps will automatically close because nothing changed.
Alec Goralczyk
Updated altstore and the app doesn't open anything. Can only click on it.

DiOS is hanging on ‘Waiting for JIT’, and AltServer seems to crash on Windows at the same time when requesting AltJIT. :/

Im connected to my PC running up to date AltServer. I long press Play in my Altstore to select Enable JIT and I get the message.

This would be great!

Hello, any windows user out there that can help me download altstore? It seems to ask to install icloud when I already have it installed.

I get a similar error stating that the "The Developer Disk Image Could Not Be Determined"

When enabling JIT on alt Server, this message pops up: "JIT compilation could not be enabled for DiOS (Beta). The URL to download the Developer disk image could not be determined." Any fix for this issue?

Background refresh still doesn't work when on the same Wifi network as AltServer. I don't think its ever worked for me since I started using these programs.

AltKit is for iOS development, which you can only really do in Xcode on a Mac (or in a Mac VM if you feel up to that particular headache)
