⚠️ 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.

unfortunately yes this is true — to distribute an app with AltStore PAL (or any other alternative marketplace) you still need to pay Apple $99/yr to join their paid developer program.

However, you can distribute apps with AltStore Classic completely free by just providing the app file (.ipa) for users to download. Downside is users will need a computer to install them, and they’ll expire after 7 days

Compared to the existing version of AltStore Classic, this notarized version has some notable advantages:
