The AltStore Team marked the fifth anniversary of the release of AltStore Classic with the rollout of AltStore version 2.0.
AltStore v2.0 includes a long list of bug fixes as well as new users that port over some of the AltStore PAL platform's key features.
AltStore users will immediately notice that the Browse tab has been redesigned to include handy new features like the ability to view recently updated apps with streamlined card-like interfaces.
The update now allows sources to add any third-party source in addition to existing Recommended Sources.
AltStore ensures that users always know what they're downloading by letting them review important permissions before sideloading apps.
AltStore users can also donate to developers' Patreons and download Patreon-exclusive apps within the app itself.
AltStore has increased image caching to reduce the frequency of refetches, added follow buttons to social media, and updated its app icon.
Existing AltStore users can download version 2.0 directly from within the app, while new users will automatically install version 2.0 upon trying to install the app via AltServer.
AltStore v2.0 is compatible with all iOS and iPadOS firmware versions, whether they're jailbroken or not.
Users can browse apps by source or by eight categories and choose alternate app icons in the app's settings.
