Wow, I can’t believe it’s finally happening.
Instantly subscribed. Thank you!
Feature request: It would be very convenient if there was a way to export and import data from an existing install of Delta into the new AltStore version.
I paid, got to a download page (in Firefox), clicked the "marketplace-kit://" link, invited to "open this link in external app?" Clicked "OK". Nothing happens. Tried the same page in Safari, also got to download page, this time I clicked the link and nothing at all happens.
I went to your page to find how to contact support, and the options are "business inquiries", "press" and "developers". So I guess social media is the only option?
As described in AltStore's other thread, this did work for me by going back through the order pipeline. It did indeed detect my email and short-circuit the process without asking for a credit card again. However, I found that this still didn't work in Firefox. It had to be done with Safari.
Edit: I had issues when purchasing with Apple Pay. You need to enter the E-Mail that is linked to your Apple Pay. User interface for purchase is really not great. More information there:
sorry but this not cool, since you are forcing EU users to use your Alt Store (users freedom only when it suits your business?).
Also: by not using the App Store, EU users can't install Delta on iPad.
Do you want to charge for Delta? That's fine!
Do you want to charge more (like 3€ instead of 1,50€) on App Store? That's fine as well!
But let people choose which app store to use and don't force your thing, thanks!
Just posting to say this doesn’t work in the UK. Thanks Apple/Brexit.
Nice how some EU laws apply here, and others don’t. Really not confusing at all…
how to download the AltStore for a second iPhone?
The following does not work:
- visit store page on second iPhone
- get asked to pay again
- stripe recognizes the packend option, skips billing and forwards me to the download page
- Download button does nothing
1) Should I be paying again for store access on a second device? If yes: how to do that while reusing the payment option?
2) Should it be fine to download on a second device? If yes: why does it not work?
AltStore PAL is an open-source, crowd-funded app store for indies 👩💻
Distributing apps is entirely free, & developers can optionally distribute to just their patrons with our Patreon integration
And with no manual review process, developers are in full control of distribution!
We’re launching with two of our own apps:
🎮 Delta, an all-in-one Nintendo emulator
📎 Clip, a clipboard manager that can actually run in the background
Delta will be free, and Clip will require a pledge of €1 or more. Support for third-party apps is coming soon — so stay tuned!
There’s a lot more we haven't mentioned, so we also wrote a blog post with everything you need to know: https://rileytestut.com/blog/2024/04/17/introducing-altstore-pal/
Thanks to everyone who’s supported us on this journey, y'all are the best 💚
Oh, and for our friends outside the EU, there’s one more thing...
Introducing AltStore PAL
riley (Riley Testut)Delta — the app that started it all — is available NOW in the App Store!
Yes, you read that right: our long-rejected game emulator has been approved by Apple themselves 🍎
If you live outside the EU, download now from the App Store — no DMA required https://apps.apple.com/app/delta-game-emulator/id1048524688

Mastodon@rileytestut Why not just simply offering it through the App Store worldwide? I will never install a third party marketplace.
Now going to download this with an Apple-ID that is registered for the US store.
What if you live in the EU and want to run Delta on your iPad? (Without creating a new Apple ID)
(Sorry if this is a stupid question; I haven’t tried Delta yet, so I don’t know yet whether it’s a universal app or iPhone only)
I hope this releases one day on the Apple TV
Is there a way to transfer data (save states) from Delta (in AltStore) into Delta (in AltStore PAL)?
Ps: i have already done it🙂
I might try this out later today, but what does “a pledge of €1 or more” mean?
Per month? Per year? Once?
