AltStore 1.4.3b1 + AltServer 1.5b2: Quick Fixes for Apps Crashing
🕑 Added 2021-01-30 20:38:36 +0000 UTCHappy New Year!
As several of you have noticed, apps installed with AltStore over the past few days have started crashing on launch. Basically, this was due to Apple changing the signing certificate they use to sign provisioning profiles, which now differs from the one AltStore uses and thus caused iOS to start rejecting their code signatures.
I've now updated AltStore and AltServer to use the new WWDR signing certificate, which should fix this issue. Because AltStore itself is now broken though, you must manually update AltStore to 1.4.3b1 by reinstalling with the attached AltServer beta. You do NOT need to delete AltStore first in order to do so. Once AltStore is updated, you can use it to refresh your other apps as normal.
In addition, this AltServer beta for Mac also fixes the Mail plug-in on macOS 11.2, for those of you running the macOS betas.
I apologize for the inconvenience; hopefully with your feedback I can release these updates to everyone else ASAP.

Still crashing on launch. The kicker is my version of AltStore was still working fine before updating, now it won’t launch at all and neither will all my sideloaded apps...

Small update, I installed AltServer to my windows PC and it installed AltStore fine and AltStore opens. So my "couldn't communicate with helper application" is something Mac related that I don't know how to fix. So the patch worked for me on Windows with iOS 14.3, but did not work from my MacBook running 10.14.6. Though the issue isn't crashing on the MacBook, its the "helper application" issue. Edit: So AltStore installed ok when I used AltServer on my windows PC, but now when I try to install Delta or Delta-Beta it gives me the "couldn't communicate with helper application" error in AltStore. I have no idea how to fix this issue. If anyone does know please let me know.
Martin Lopetegi Barcaiztegi
AltStore is working again, but no other app: not delta nor it's beta version...

FIX... WORKS FOR ME ON 13.5 W/ JAILBREAK. I downloaded Unc0ver from tutuBox webpage and app. I activate my jailbreak and the AltStore app now open perfectly.
Kim Brown
Wondering when a fix will be available for iphone SE 2020 13.5.1??????
EazyTigs
My AltServer is presenting an error now that says "Couldn't communicate with a helper application." whenever I try to install AltStore to my phone. I've tried deleting AltServer from my MacBook, reinstalling that and the mail plug-in, deleting AltStore from my phone and rebooting both while they were deleted and the error persists.

Worked for me perfectly in: iOS, iPadOS 14.4 with iPhone XS MAX, iPhone 6S Plus and iPad Pro 12” 2nd gen. Using MacOS big Sur RC3 11.2.
Alex Sky
bullshits, you can't open uncover if alstore crashes
KillerHummus
Alright so for those who it won't work for Reboot your iphone (With altstore removed) Delete altserver off your PC normally with control panel uninstall. Then, go to C drive, program files, and delete altserver. Then go to recycling bin and delete it again there. Reboot your PC. Reinstall the alt server beta with the attached files Riley sent. Then sideload again and it should work. Got this comment from someone else just re-iterating it since it seems to work.

My Version after link update is 1.5.0.2 and still not working im pretty sure thats new version but good thinking
John
Installed ... altstore still crashes immediately when trying to open
ItzzMeInsane :p
Btw when I checked after installing it manually from this beta version I noticed my version hadn’t changed when I checked for update so guys I recommend checking if it has because if not then the issue isn’t with the fix patch but instead with an incorrect link being posted which is an easily made mistake especially with everyone giving him a lot of pressure

Updated, alt store opens but other side loaded apps still crashing

Works great! On iPhone 12 Pro Max with iOS 14.4 (installed with macOS). Thanks for your work and dedication.
April Cardenas
Had to reinstall AltServer on Windows to get it working along with all my apps, but it seems to work well after that. All apps launch now 👍 (iOS 14.3 on iPhone 12 Pro)
Tony Escobar
I received a warning that installing AltStore would revoke my Apple Developer ID. Is this true? I am holding off installing until I hear back. I did update AltServer already, and it did allow me to refresh my apps with AltStore 1.4.2b1. Please let me know if it's safe to update to 1.4.3b1 without revoking my Developer ID. Thank you.
