AltStore 2.0 RC - Custom App Icons!

Howdy Patrons,

AltStore 2.0 RC is now available! This update includes all the last bits of polish before we release 2.0 for everyone — including our brand new icon ✨ But we didn’t stop with just one, we also added over 15 unique app icons for you to choose from and customize AltStore however you’d like 🎨

This also includes the last few bug fixes to prepare for the public version of 2.0, which we plan to release next month. Thank you for all the help testing this release - we couldn’t do any of this without you!

As for the EU version of AltStore, please stay tuned. We’ll have more to share on that shortly 🙂

Best,

Riley + Shane
