  1. What is AltStore?

Download imovie for mac os 10.12.6. AltStore is an alternative appstore for the iPhone and iPad that doesn’t require a jailbreak. It also does not rely on enterprise developer certificates as other alternative app stores do and, as such, cannot be revoked by Apple.

  1. Is AltStore a Jailbreak?

No, AltStore is not a jailbreaking app. AltStore is an installer that allows IPA files to be sideloaded and signed on your device, something that cannot be done with the official app store.

  1. How Does AltStore Work?

Riley Testut is responsible for developing the AltStore app, using a feature the developers use for testing apps before they go to the Official iOS appstore.

However, you are limited to no more than three active apps on your device at any given time, one of which is reserved by AltStore – that means you can install two more apps of your choice.

  1. What Apps will I Find in AltStore
  • GBA4iOS
  • Delta Emulator

As you can see, there are few apps available right now, but this number will increase over time. You also have the option of downloading external IPA files and installing them

  1. Can the AltStore Certificate be Revoked?

No. AltStore doesn’t use enterprise certificates, so Apple cannot revoke them and shut the apps down like they do with other alternative app stores. Each user “signs” their own apps with an individual certificate that cannot be revoked.

  1. Why is my Apple ID Required while using AltStore?

So long as you have a valid Apple ID, Apple allows you to install any app you have developed onto your device to test it. This feature was included with AltStore, ensuring your ID communicates with the Apple servers and let you install the apps you want through AltStore.

  1. Why Do I Need to Refresh The Apps Every 7 Days?

Because the certificates expire, if you are using a free Apple ID. Those with paid developer IDs do not face this. This is why AltStore tries to refresh your apps regularly; ensuring I can do this at least once per week stops the certificates expiring.

  1. Is AltServer required to be Running for App Installation or Refresh?

Yes. AltServer must be open and running on the Wi-Fi network that AltStore is on to ensure you can install and refresh your apps. You don’t need it running permanently, though; simply ensure it is active regularly, and your device is connected, and your apps will be refreshed – do this at least once a week to stop the apps expiring.

The easiest way around this is to have AltServer set to run automatically when you log in to your computer and then leave your computer in sleep mode a couple of times a week. If you are a Windows user, go into your settings and enable Network Connectivity under Sleep Mode.
