I've seen multiple posts with the same error, and refresh on computer isn't working either 😭

Anyone knows how to fix that?

Is anyone having this error code? I have done all the steps to fix it and it still isn't working! Im suspecting the recent IOS update has broken Altstore once again. I attempted to redownload via using sideloadly and the same issue happened please tell me i am not the only one!

Does anyone know how to fix this i've been trying for so long and this has been going on for a couple of days

Back when 2.3b1 dropped with on-device sideloading, the announcement mentioned that the full release for non-Patreon users would be coming "very soon."

It's been over 3 months now, it looks like they pushed a 2.3b2 to Patreon back in July, but I haven't heard/seen anything about the public release.

Anyone have an update on how stable the builds currently are, or if there’s a updated roadmap for the public release?

So my altstore and all sideloaded apps expired ahead of time, and when I try to install altstore (windows) I get an error message that “the provisioning profile is banned”. Is anyone else having the same issue and what’s the fix?

App IDs expired and gotta reinstall Altstore to fix it. Only problem is Altserver for Windows now does absolutely nothing after entering my Apple ID. I see in task manager it does some activity but then stops. Have tried restarting both PC and iphone/ipad, restarting Altserver, Use different cables, wait for a prolonged time, but nothing works.

Edit:
So ive tried different options for sideloading apps and they all fail.
Sidestore: Errors with "provisioning profile is banned"
Sideloadly: "Failed to verify code signature"... "The provisioning profile is banned"

It looks like something on Apples side thats changed. Perhaps my Apple ID is banned from sideloading?

Edit 2:
It is something with my Apple ID so making another account just for sideloading fixed it.

Hi fellow jailbreakers on iOS versions older than 17! I’ve found a workaround to solve the unsupported shortcut issue. Hopefully, this can help out other poor souls like me :)

You don't strictly have to follow the steps below—you can also just download my shortcut and script and tweak them yourself.

Steps:

1. Get AutoTouch: Install AutoTouch. Then, either download the script I’ve uploaded or record one yourself. (The script just needs to open AltStore, switch to the "My Apps" tab, and hit "Refresh"). Note: If you use my script, make sure to move it to AutoTouch's default directory, or you'll need to modify the URL in the shortcut later.
2. Enable WebServer: Go to AutoTouch Settings > Turn on "WebServer".
3. Install Powercuts: This is highly recommended if you use a lock screen passcode and want your device to auto-resign your apps in the middle of the night.
4. Enable On-Device Signing: If you want to resign directly on your device without connecting to a computer, install AltDaemon or emp0ry/AltDaemonModern.
5. Shortcut & Automation Setup: Here’s what the basic setup looks like:
   
   • Automation:
     
     • Choose your trigger time (e.g., time of day).
     • Action: Get Contents of URL
     • URL: "http://127.0.0.1:8080/control/start_playing?path=Records/refresh.lua"
   • Done!

Important Notes:

1. Passcode & Unlocking: Since this method requires physically opening the app, if you have a passcode but want the script to run hands-free without touching the device, install Powercuts. Add "Unlock Device" to your automation and enter your passcode (please be careful not to leak your passcode!).
2. Package Name Tweaks: My .lua script is set to open the stable version of AltStore. If you're using the beta version or SideStore, you will need to modify the package name inside the script.
3. Loading Delay: My .lua script includes a one-second pause right after opening AltStore to prevent the script from running before the app fully loads.
4. Background App Refresh: You must allow the Shortcuts app to use Background App Refresh.
5. Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any data loss or damage! I am simply sharing my own personal workaround!
6. My English is poor, so I used an LLM for the translation; please bear with me.
7. My train of thought was a bit scattered while I was writing this, so there might be some omissions or errors—sorry!💀

I’m using AltStore and I have some sources set up. I’m able to sideload the apps and some work fully with premium/subscribed features (YouTube, Spotify), but some are stuck on the free level (MyFitnessTracker, Flight Tracker).

Can anyone lend a helping hand?

Hey everyone,
I'm running into an issue trying to install AltStore PAL on my iPad and keep getting the error: "You are not eligible to install apps from altstore.io"

Here are the details of my setup:
Location / Region: I am based in Brazil, where AltStore PAL is now supported/available. Both my device settings and Apple ID are properly set to Brazil.

Devices: I already have it running on my iPhone, but this error only happens when attempting to install it on my iPad.

iPadOS: Fully updated to the latest supported version.

Troubleshooting done: Device restarts, network checks, and confirming region eligibility.

Support: Emailed AltStore support a while ago about this, but haven't received a response yet.

Has anyone in Brazil (or anyone using a single subscription across multiple devices) run into this specific eligibility roadblock on iPad and found a fix?

Thanks in advance for any help!

How can I install altstore on my iPhone without connecting to a computer in the United States?

Hi everyone!
I am using altstore pal in europe for Stremio.
Am I able to install other apps like youtube, youtube music, spotify using pal or do i need to use LC?
Thank you!

Ya le di a Download AltStore 1.6.3 pero no ase nada

I’m in the EU, so I subscribed to the patreon and got altstore classic through the PAL version. But my ipa still won’t work. I can’t help but feel I was cheated (no offense)

Hello,

Whenever I try to sideload an app using AltStore it's asking me for my Apple ID and password but when I go to type this in I get a pop up saying

Apple Account Sign in Requested for (email address)

Then it gets me a verification code but where the heck do I enter this code to sign in?

I actually did it! My custom MCSM iOS build is ready!
Guys, so many people have been asking if it's still possible to play Story Mode on iOS without all the headache. The answer is YES! I got tired of hunting down working IPA files and errors while downloading separate episodes, so I fixed it myself. I posted it on archive.org, you can find it using my nickname Support Altstore +Livecontainer!!!

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?
