For me there is one must have. I’d like to be able to sideload some apps without the weekly refresh. Can any beta testers say if this is a thing as they said may be?
Is Altstore working on Sonoma or iPadOS? I see it is in iOS 17, but I’d like not to be limited to one device.
I’m usually down to update right away, but my add free YouTube is pretty key to my sanity at the moment.
I can’t speak for the weekly refresh since I have a Apple dev account (which changes the refresh to 365 days) but altStore and altServer on Ventura works just fine on my iOS 17 phone
I’m this close to buying a dev account just for that year long refresh. I’ll wait until the actual release of 17 and how EU laws will work on it then we’ll see
There’s no third party app store support in iOS 17 or iPadOS. I wouldn’t expect something like the altstore to get better until third party stores are officially supported.
What’s altstore? I got an iPhone yesterday, first once since my iPhone X, kinda out the loop
It’s currently the best way to sideload content. You simply download the program to a computer which acts as a server that refreshes your apps. You have to refresh once a week. Sidestore is a fork that spoofs a macbook pro and allows you to completely untether from a server. You still have to refresh once a week.
Altstore works fine on iPadOS17, just needed to reinstall Altstore.
Good to hear. Thanks
For ad free YouTube check out an app called video lite.
I don’t have an answer, but am commenting because I also am curious about this. Ad free YouTube is so nice.
