AltServer has announced a major update that brings support for direct IPA sideloading on iPhone, support for installing AltStore onto multiple iOS devices using the same Apple ID, and much more.
Yes, it’s true: the highly-anticipated AltServer 1.5 update is finally here — bringing the power of AltJIT and much much more to EVERYONE.
AltServer 1.5 is available for both Mac and Windows and can be used with or without AltStore. Here's a look at the changelog...
● Allows sideloaded apps to use Just-in-Time (JIT) compilation
● Go to "Enable JIT" > [Your Device] from the AltServer menu, then choose a sideloaded app
● Your device must be on the same WiFi network as AltServer or connected to your computer via USB
● JIT will remain enabled until the app is quit from the app switcher or purged from memory in the background
● Requires iOS 14 or later
● Sideload apps (.ipa's) directly to iOS devices without installing AltStore first
● Hold Option (macOS) or Start (Windows) when clicking the AltServer icon to reveal new "Sideload .ipa…" menu option
● Supports iPhones and iPads running iOS 9.3 or later
● Supports Apple TVs running tvOS 9.3 or later (macOS)
● For now, Apple TVs must be manually paired with Xcode first
● Apps sideloaded with AltServer must be manually re-installed every 7 days
● Install AltStore to automatically refresh your sideloaded apps in the background
● Install AltStore onto multiple iOS devices using the same Apple ID
● You must use the same computer to install AltStore each time
● Mail Plug-in Improvements (macOS)
● AltPlugin can now be updated independently from AltServer
● AltPlugin is no longer required if both System Integrity Protection (SIP) and Apple Mobile File Integrity (AMFI) are disabled
● Added “…” to menu items that require additional user input to match macOS HIG (macOS)
● Prefers “Individual” paid teams over free teams if there are multiple Apple Developer teams associated with your Apple ID
● Revokes the previous iOS Development certificate created by AltStore (if one exists) instead of revoking a random one
● Updated “Cannot activate more than 3 apps” error alert to list all sideloaded app bundle IDs
● Revised code signing logic to more accurately match Apple’s codesign tool
● Improved error message when authenticating with invalid anisette data
● Improved error messages for libimobiledevice errors
● Improved error messages for various AltServer-specific errors
● Updated libimobiledevice dependency to 1.3.0
● Updated LaunchAtLogin dependency to 4.1.0 (macOS)
● Fixed “App Group does not exist” error when sideloading apps
● Fixed a potential crash when disconnecting an iOS device from your computer

● Fixed potentially registering an app group twice when sideloading an app containing app extensions
● Fixed “RSTPlaceholderView.nib couldn’t be saved” error when sideloading apps (macOS)
● Fixed duplicate “Revoke Development Certificate” alerts when sideloading apps (macOS)
● Fixed issue unzipping .ipa’s with unexpected files in Payload directory (Windows)
● Fixed ignoring some error responses from Apple’s developer servers (Windows)
