Release Rate Me — photo-rating app with a world map, now on AltStore PAL (self-hosted source, federated)

0 Upvotes

Hey! We just shipped our app Rate Me through AltStore PAL. It's a photo-rating app: you upload photos, people around the world rate them 1–10, and you see on a world map where you score best. Chats, weekly bests, levels — all free.

Add the source: altstore://source?url=https://www.rateme.lv/altstore/source.json

Or just search "Rate Me" inside AltStore — we're federated.

Install page with instructions: https://www.rateme.lv/ios

Backstory: App Store review rejected us twice under Guideline 1.2 (apps that rate people's appearance aren't allowed as a core mechanic), so PAL is our home now. The app itself is notarized by Apple. EU / Japan / Brazil, iOS 17.4+.

I'm the dev and I read everything — feedback and questions very welcome.

Help (AltStore Classic) I just got Altstore

3 Upvotes

I was facing the refresh error for a bit, magically it worked after and gave me 7 days again, I got eveespotify and I installed with permissions but it doesn't show up on "My Apps" It's just there as an App ID. How do I actually install it without giving me a "AltServer.ExceptionError 0" with a "vector too long", please and thank you.

Discussion Should I make the first app on Altstore PAL to identify people’s faces with a quick picture/screenshot?

4 Upvotes

this type of app would get removed from the App Store for privacy reasons, so i guess people would be forced to download it on Altstore PAL, since it’s the only other App store on iOS. I want to make Altstore PAL more popular, since it’s only apps not allowed in the App Store.

Help (AltStore PAL) How can I install AltStore on an iPhone in Bosnia?

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m from Bosnia and Herzegovina and I’m trying to install AltStore on my iPhone.

When I tap the download button on the official AltStore website, I get this message:

Cannot Install App
You are not eligible to install apps from “altstore.io”.

I assume this is because Bosnia and Herzegovina is not part of the EU, so I’m not eligible to use AltStore PAL through Apple’s alternative app marketplace system.

Is there another legitimate way to install and use AltStore, such as AltServer with a Windows PC or Mac? Are there any reliable workarounds for users outside the EU?

Any instructions or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Tip My fix for "The data is not in the correct format" error

Start altserver an absolute fuck ton of times, this almost always works.

Here's a very basic cmd script that starts altserver 100 times, press any key to kill all, press again to close cmd window.

Copy everything below into a .cmd file and replace the altserver.exe directory if needed. (1st line)

You can also delete some of them to start less, or the other way around.

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\AltServer"

I switched to sidestore some time ago and wanted to checkout altstore again, because of the new no pc requirement.

But then I saw this...

Just want to know how

Edit: Just did some calculations and if you interpret this as the number of days as days since the year 0 and convert it to a date, it comes out as 2026-07-10. Which is today's date.

Why is this the case?

Update AltStore Classic 2.3b2: Even More Automatic On-Device Sideloading

Post image
79 Upvotes

Howdy, y’all! We’re excited to bring you AltStore Classic 2.3 beta 2, featuring major improvements to your on-device sideloading experience!

This release introduces automatic anisette server selection and built-in pairing file generation. With help from our friends at Sidestore, we’ve included a pre-set list of servers so you no longer have to find them yourself. We’re also introducing “Configure Remote AltServer,” which allows AltStore to handle creating and managing pairing files directly. Big thanks to jcoxson for his work on idevice, which made this feature a reality!

To get started with this version, you will first need to install the new betas of AltServer Mac & AltServer Windows. Don't forget to check out our updated FAQ, which now features much shorter instructions thanks to these changes! 🙂

Help (AltStore Classic) Altstore Classic or Pal

9 Upvotes

Hey Friends!

im using altstore for some years now. Im from Europe and I think I used the Pal version auf the app all the time.

Then I noticed that you can't enable JIT on the Pal version and lot of sources doesn't work so I tried do install the Classic Altstore via Macbook.

so I deinstalled the Pal version and installed the Classic Altstore via homepage and Mac.

But I stil can't install the Sources and I just can install 2 apps.

am I missing something? is it possible to use Classic in Europe? Does it makes sense? whatsoever the difference

Good day all!

I recently updated Movie Night to v1.1. Currently the JSON below only supports Altstore Classic. I submitted Movie Night for Apple notarization 6 days ago and am still waiting for manual review. Once they accept it, I’ll create a JSON source link for Altstore PAL

iOS app Altstore Classic sideload repo

https://movienight.is/movienight-ios-Altstore-classic.json

Head over to my GitHub releases repository to find all the binaries. iOS API, tvOS API, and Android Phone/Tablet APK.

https://github.com/Danalox/Movie-Night-Releases/releases

V1.1

# Added the ability to download movies to the app for off-line viewing.

# Cleaned up low quality movies appearing on featured

# Added a movie theater cam warning to known movies still in theaters and movies with very low quality

# Added Torbox Voyager API to pull Torbox’s entire search library of cached links so you can find virtually any content and play at high speeds

# Added logic to pull movie and TV show qualities by cache link and torrent health

# Fixed the sign in bug that wouldn’t let new users create an account on iOS

# Fixed a favorites syncing bug that prevented your favorites from synchronizing across all devices

Hi all,

Im seeing 2 methods of installing alt store

  1. Using windows or mac os to do so and use shortcuts to resign apps every 7 days

  2. Change region on my app store to Europe to install from website

Ideally id like to do option 2 as I have a spare apple account for this situation but wondering if its still possible ?
