AltStore @altstore.io

A home for apps that push the boundaries of iOS - no jailbreak required.
by @riley.social and @shanegillio.bsky.social

As we recently announced, we have a new Fediverse server for discovering apps explore.alt.store.

Now in AltStore PAL itself you can view likes & comments on federated apps, app updates, and news items from across the open social web.

⚠️ A bug in iOS 26.1 may cause apps to disappear from the My Apps tab in AltStore PAL. We strongly advise against updating immediately.

If you're already on iOS 26.1, AltStore PAL 2.2.1 is now available with some changes to mitigate the impact of this bug.

The AltStore is federating to Bluesky and the rest of the social web. Now developers and users can connect with each other on an open platform while drastically improving app discovery. I believe so much in this mission that I joined their board to help.

To be clear, this is NOT an issue for anyone who installed Delta with AltStore PAL in the EU.

We’re very sorry for the inconvenience to our App Store users, and we’ll let you know if we hear more from Apple.

We've only offered IAP in the US since adding them last December, and this sudden ask would take more time than we’d like and significantly delay these bug fixes for our users.

In the meantime, you can install our TestFlight build with these fixes: testflight.apple.com/join/aFVsc4vY

⚠️ Apple is blocking Delta’s iOS 26 bug fix update

Despite announcing they would no longer hold up bug fix updates for guideline violations, Apple called us directly saying they would not approve Delta’s iOS 26 bug fix update unless we added In-App Purchases worldwide.

And there's even more reason to be excited!

Compared to the existing version of Classic, this notarized version has some notable advantages:

❌ Never expires
3️⃣ Doesn’t count towards 3-app limit
💻 Doesn’t require AltServer to be installed/updated
