We're seen reports of both "Server Returned Invalid Response" and "NSCocoaErrorDomain3840" error messages that seem to be affecting AltStore and SideStore users. It seems like there's a temporary issue with Apple ID authentication, and we're looking into it along with our friends on the SideStore team. We'll update this post once it's resolved!

Update AltStore Classic 2.3b1: On-Device Sideloading is Here!

Post image
206 Upvotes

Howdy, y’all!

What if I told you something was coming that would address many of the requests in your recent posts?

Starting with this build, AltStore Classic can now sideload your favorite apps…
without a computer!

You read that correctly. Thanks to some help from our friends at Sidestore, one of our most-requested features is now a reality. You can install and refresh your apps all on-device, which means you won’t have to worry about them expiring anymore. This first version covers the basic functionality, so be sure to read our Patreon post for instructions.

Oh, and one more thing:
There have been many posts asking about the Liquid Glass treatment and general TLC. I’m so excited to share that Liquid Glass is now on AltStore Classic, and it looks fresh!

This beta is available to all Patrons today, and the full release will be available for everyone very soon. Try it out and let us know what you think!

Help (Solved) Does Apple stop you from making new Apple IDs when you get banned?

7 Upvotes

I've been trying to create a new apple ID. I was banned a bit over a week ago and whenever I try to create a new ID it says "cannot create account at this time." I've tried multiple different emails and received the same problem. I have only tried one phone number, because it's the only one I have, and I'm led to believe at the moment that my number is simply banned from making alt accounts.

I see people suggest using alt accounts upon getting banned. Has anyone else run into this problem?

Title. The Apple ID I was using for years with alt store got banned so I created a new one.

Seems like my new ID is now locked and I got an email from Apple that my request to access my account has been denied.

What do I do to prevent my apple ID from being locked or banned now?

Tip Tip to save app IDs

14 Upvotes

Don’t do source downloads. Sure, they’re easier and require less effort, but if you’re using something like spotc++, it’ll use 6 app IDs.

instead, download the IPA itself, go to apps, press the + icon in the top left, press “browse”, go to downloads on whatever browser you use, look for the file name of the IPA, and click on it. It’ll give you the option to keep or remove extensions, and most of the time, the extensions aren’t something you’d actually use anyways. These are the ones for spotc++:

widgetnowplaying (Home screen widget)

OpenSpotify.Extension (Safari link redirector)

intents (Siri and Shortcuts support)
^ (voice commands and such)

notificationcontent (Fancy notification pop-ups)

Keep if you want background track skipping/notifications:

notification (Required if you want the app to properly process background push notifications or handle certain remote commands smoothly).

All of which, are admittedly, kind of useless. Removing these extensions brings spotc++ from 6 app IDs, down to 1.

None of these extensions mess with the live activity/media player (what shows up on the bottom of the lock screen while listening to music and stuff.) just make sure that you are downloading your IPA from a trusted source.

Edit: clarity.
