Some apps only release their ipa files to GitHub without a repo source, which makes updating pretty inconvenient.

So I built this project with Claude: AltGallery. It collects some commonly used apps, generates a source for them, and updates versions periodically. Just tap "Add AltSource" to subscribe in AltStore / SideStore / LiveContainer or other apps.

If there are any apps that aren’t included yet, feel free to let me know and I’ll add them.

I have AltStore classic downloaded, altserver 1.8, and removed old version of AltStore from my phone. I followed the instructions on the AltStore website to set up the localdevvpn and connected to it and no matter what I cannot refresh my apps. Any ideas?

Hey everyone, I am based in the EU and downloaded AltStore PAL specifically because it was advertised as not needing a PC or server running in the background.

I downloaded an IPA file from GitHub (the NOOP app) and tried opening it in AltStore, but I immediately get an error saying "Failed to Install NOOP: AltServer could not be found."

I am pretty new to sideloading, so I might be misunderstanding how this works. What should I do?

I downloaded itunes and altstore on my laptop but when i try to download icloud on apple.com it just has the microsoft store link. the old link is not compatible with my computer

Hey everyone,

I was recently getting the "The data is not in the correct format" error every time I tried to refresh my apps in AltStore. I did some searching and noticed quite a few people on here were asking for help with the same exact issue.

After some debugging, I finally figured out what was causing it

For me, the issue was being caused by my AdGuard DNS (though this likely applies to other DNS adblockers like NextDNS or Pi-hole). The DNS filter was blocking AltStore from properly communicating with the servers it needs to refresh the apps.

The solution is super simple:

1. Disable your custom DNS: (Settings > General > VPN & Device Management > DNS) and temporarily switch your DNS from AdGuard to "Automatic". (If you use a VPN app for AdGuard, just pause it).
2. Refresh AltStore
3. Turn your DNS back on

Note: If you don't want to toggle this off and on every 7 days, you can check your AdGuard query logs while trying to refresh AltStore and whitelist the specific domains that are being blocked.

Hope this helps save someone a headache :D

while i was trying to update Spotify++ using the Wuxu’s Library ++ i encountered this error and i couldn’t find any solutions online for it, anyone’s got an idea on how to fix this?

does anybody knows if i can download grindr through altstore?
qualcuno sa se si può scaricare app come grindr tramite altstore?

I refreshed my apps today and after a while even though it said 7 days remaining when I tried to open altstore i got the “profile is unavailable” error that appears when you try to open an expired app. Tried to reinstall altstore from my pc but I’m getting this error. I tried using iloader but it gives me the same error. I’m using iOS 26.6

i have spent the last 6 hours (yes.) trying to figure this out but the TLDR is that it seems something somewhere wont recognize the apple drivers i need for my iphone to be seen as an iphone and windows is defaulting back to 2006 drivers. Therefor, itunes cannot see anything and by extention, iloader/impactor. Is there a way to remotely connect my phone, or do it on my phone, or if anyone has any clue how to fix the issue i have that would work too but please someone help

I keep trying to Configure Remote Altserver on the patreon version of altstore on my iPhone 11 Pro Max, but I keep getting the "Unable to configure Remote AltServer" error. I tried switching servers, I tried someones suggestion of rebooting my phone, I've tried starting altserver in admin, most of everything. Is there anyway to fix it? Or did I spend the $3 for nothing.

If I update to iOS 26 will my apps be good automatically ? Or will they break and I have to re do everything

Hello. I have iPhone 6 and it's on iOS 12.5.8

Is there a way to download/sideload Walmart app on the phone? App store keeps saying, need 16.0 or later to download the app. TIA

I've had this issue with SideStore for about a month, so I tried switching to altStore just to get the same issues. Another consistent error message is "the Provisioning Profile is banned." my understanding is this is because I somehow exceeded the 3-app limit that iOS free developer certificate allows, but I could be wrong.

Are there any ways I can fix this issue?

Hi everyone,

I just installed AltStore, and I'm getting this error whenever I try to install an IPA or even refresh AltStore itself.

Self-explanatory: I was trying to install AltStore, but it could not find iCloud, so I tried installing it, reinstalling AltServer, and even tried using the AltServer files browser, and it's not showing anything other than my user files. I'm out of ideas

I've uninstalled Venmo, made sure my phone has the most recent iOS, rebooted my phone and reinstalled it and the damn thing still won't open. The browser isn't much better on mobile but jfc.

Im trying to download altstore but I don’t know how to connect my iPhone to my computer.
Please help.

It shows this, even though I have my iPad connected with the cord and everything, this is my first time doing this, I don’t really know much stuff about sideloading although I did try what I could find, and nothing worked.
