Following the release of AltServer 1.5 RC a few weeks ago, we're excited to announce that AltStore 1.5 RC is also now available! This is the final beta before AltStore 1.5 is released to the public, so we appreciate you all testing this out before the final version.

Hi all,
First, I want to acknowledge the tragic injustice unfolding in Ukraine. As you may have seen on Twitter, Shane and I will be donating 20% of this month's Patreon earnings to the Ukrainian Red Cross to support those impacted by the war. We've also updated the AltStore News tab with a link to a resource guide listing several ways our community can help, so we recommend checking that...

As several of you have noticed, Apple released new betas for iOS 15.1 since my last post — which unfortunately no longer support the code signature AltStore uses to re-sign apps. These hiccups are not unexpected, but nonetheless are annoying to deal with since they require me to pause ongoing development in order to debug the issue. Thankfully, I've now identified the change, so AltSt...

Thanks 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

Last month, I released the first macOS AltServer beta with support for AltJIT, my new workaround to enable JIT on iOS 14 or later (including iOS 15!).

Happy 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...
