AltServer 1.7rc (macOS): Goodbye Mail Plug-in!
Added 2023-09-15 18:48:32 +0000 UTCHappy Friday Patrons!
AltServer 1.7rc is now available for all Mac users - no Mail Plug-in required! Because macOS Sonoma removed support for Mail Plug-ins, this update eliminates that requirement for all macOS users 🎉
AltStore 2.0b4 is also now available with some minor tweaks ahead of a public release. Both the AltStore and AltServer updates are required for use with iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma, so we recommend updating right away to stay compatible.
We'll be back soon with more fun AltStore 2.0 updates, so stay tuned!

2023-10-23 22:18:00 +0000 UTCWill there be any updates to enabling JIT on windows soon? Have been unable to since ios17

2023-10-10 00:24:36 +0000 UTCDoes AltServer work with iPhone 15?
Mike Morin
2023-09-27 22:00:06 +0000 UTCThe release notes didn’t mention it but Catalina is no longer supported. I’ve got a 2012 Mac mini as my home server for plex and to keep AltServer always online. Is this intentional or did it happen because you used the new Xcode and it accidentally bumped minimum target?

2023-09-23 10:17:42 +0000 UTCI'm running AltServer 1.7 on macOS Monterey and AltStore 1.7 on iOS 17. I stupidly updated my iPhone 11 Pro before updating AltStore, and now I can't refresh my apps. I'm trying to install the AltStore Beta (my Patreon is linked), but I can't without connecting to AltServer. Which I can't do without updating AltStore. What can I do, here? Is there a way to install the beta without a wifi link to AltServer?
Vincent Potter
2023-09-22 17:32:31 +0000 UTCThere is no real difference other than that the 1.7rc will install the beta version of AltStore on your device.

2023-09-21 08:11:00 +0000 UTCIf you receive a time-out error, try reconnecting your device and enabling from AltServer. Make sure your device is connected to your computer the entire time until JIT has successfully enabled
Riley + Shane
2023-09-19 22:40:20 +0000 UTCYou should receive the code to your device and would need to enter it into your Mac/PC. If you aren't getting a two-factor code, make sure to check your AppleID settings & connected devices

2023-09-19 22:39:13 +0000 UTCThere is currently not a fix available for using Windows with iOS 17 devices. We'll let you know once we have something available.

2023-09-19 22:37:57 +0000 UTCI'm on Sonoma/iPadOS 17 with the appropriate betas and all the dependencies installed but I'm running into a JIT could not be enabled error. "The process 'altjit' failed with code 1. Could not connect to device . The process 'python3' timed out." Any ideas for what to try from here?

2023-09-19 03:19:55 +0000 UTCI turned on two-step verification. Is it because of this that I can’t install it? It prompts me that my password is wrong.
James Wang
2023-09-19 02:54:19 +0000 UTCAny info on how to fix the first error?
Mike Morin
2023-09-18 18:22:01 +0000 UTCWhere and how do I do that?
Mike Morin
2023-09-18 18:19:36 +0000 UTCThe second error is worded very well because it tells you how to fix the error and you even typed out how to fix it. Hope this helps!

2023-09-17 00:41:22 +0000 UTCI have some issues using/installing JIT, I have already installed Xcode, brew, pymobiledevice3. but it seems like Altserver can't see that pymobiledevice3 is installed. "AltServer requires additional dependencies to enable JIT on iOS 17. 'pymobiledevice3' is not installed." also I use Sonoma and IOS 17
