📣 We have some exciting news — AltStore is officially joining the Fediverse!
We’re also:
💰 Donating $500,000 to various Fediverse-related projects
🌏 Launching PAL in several more countries this year
👥 Expanding the team!

⚠️ Apple is blocking Delta’s iOS 26 bug fix update
Despite announcing they would no longer hold up bug fix updates for guidelines violations, Apple called us directly saying they would not approve Delta’s iOS 26 bug fix update unless we added In-App Purchases worldwide.
We've only offered IAP in the US since adding them last December, and have released multiple updates since without issue. This sudden ask would take more time than we’d like and significantly delay these bug fixes for our users.

To better support controller cases like #PlayCase & Bitmo Lab’s #Gamebaby, Delta’s pause menu can now be accessed without removing the faceplate
Specifically, a new `menuInsets` property for controller skins allows case manufacturers to customize the location of the pause menu

⚠️ Due to a configuration issue, you may see a “Could not install due to content restrictions” error when installing AltStore PAL, or it may no longer be visible on your Home Screen/App Library.
To resolve both these issues, you must explicitly allow unrated apps 👇

🙋‍♂️ To answer some questions: Hot Tub is NOT visible in AltStore PAL by default, and it is not a Recommended Source
You must explicitly add its source before it will appear in AltStore PAL — just like the majority of AltStore apps. This means you'll only see it if you want to 🙂

Online Multiplayer will be available for EVERYONE with Delta 1.7, so to make setup as easy as possible you no longer need to manually change the DNS to connect to 3rd-party WFC Servers
Just choose from 3 of the most popular servers in Delta’s settings, or provide a custom DNS for your preferred server and you’re good to go!
