I have attempted to install AltStore from Windows PC onto my iPad for UTM VM but after I entered my apple id details a notification popped out saying «Installing AltStore» with next line «This may take a few seconds» but after at least 2 minutes of waiting I do not see AltStore on my iPad homescreen so I thought it was my iPad’s problem but no it does not install onto my phone either. AltServer is started with administrator privileges and iCloud and iTunes are downloaded directly from Apple, sync over Wi-Fi is enabled in iTunes, but there is juts no sign of AltStore on my devices. Am I doing something wrong or do I just not deserve to use AltStore ;(
I seem to ge having the same issue. I am on macOS Big Sur (11.0.1). I get the notification that altstore is installed successfully, and I can see the developer profile in settings and trust it, but I can’t find the app on my phone anywhere (iOS 14.0)

You can reboot your device to respring so your home screen reloads with altstore. But for me it does not even show up in the settings or anything so I am assuming it’s my device not receiving the command from AltServer or something (I am not a dev in any way so I may be wrong)
Having the same issue, no errors and everything seems to run through but the app does never appear
Reboot is the solution on iOS 14+. It would be great if someone could add this to the FAQ
Reboot is the solution on iOS 14+. It would be great if someone could add this to the FAQ
But I rebooted my devices multiple times with iOS 14+ but issue still persists and there is still no sign of altstore on my iPhone AND iPad as if I have not installed it
same with 14.3 I updated my iphone and now I can’t install Altstore on it anymore. I click on install «Altstore» but nothing happens on my phone 🙁
is the app not updated to latest IOS? now how can i install my tweak apps??
My problem is solved now it is server side problems I reinstalled Windows on my laptop somedays ago and now it once again worked i can finally sideload desired apps but i will leave the case open for anyone else to raise the problem
Mine problem is it keeps saying that “the system cannot find the specified file” when i try to install it on my iPhone
Running ios12.5.5
I believe this is due to a coding error within altstore itself.

Вы хотите установить на iOS или iPadOS приложения, которых нет в Apple App Store? Возможно, вам нужен эмулятор или торрент-клиент на свой iPhone или iPad? Если это так, вам нужно будет положиться на сторонний магазин под названием AltStore, который позволяет загружать неопубликованные приложения на ваш iPhone и iPad, используя только ваш Apple ID.
У Apple есть некоторые строгие правила в отношении приложений, которые могут быть опубликованы в App Store, чтобы обеспечить безопасность и конфиденциальность своих пользователей. В результате пользователи iOS и iPadOS не могут устанавливать на свои устройства такие приложения, как эмуляторы консоли, торрент-клиенты и т. Д. AltStore стремится быть местом для этих приложений, которые раздвигают границы операционной системы Apple, и самое интересное в этом то, что они не требуют джейлбрейка.
Если вы опытный пользователь и хотите попробовать это на своем собственном устройстве iOS или iPadOS (и понимаете последствия установки неподдерживаемого стороннего программного обеспечения на iPhone или iPad способом, не поддерживаемым Apple), то прочтите чтобы узнать, как установить AltStore на iPhone и iPad, а также как получать через него приложения.
Установка AltStore не так проста, как установка любого другого приложения, поскольку мы не будем использовать App Store. Вместо этого мы будем использовать для этого компьютер. Поддерживаются как Mac, так и Windows. Прежде чем приступить к выполнению описанных ниже шагов, вам необходимо убедиться, что на Mac настроен iCloud, или установить настольный клиент iCloud и iTunes, если вы используете ПК с Windows.
- Откройте веб-браузер на своем компьютере и перейдите в altstore.io. Загрузите «AltServer» для используемой вами операционной системы.

- Распакуйте загруженный файл и продолжите установку. Если вы еще не установили iCloud или загрузили iCloud из Microsoft Store, при запуске AltStore вы получите следующее сообщение. Просто нажмите «Загрузить», чтобы быстро получить iCloud.

- Затем подключите iPhone или iPad к компьютеру с помощью USB-кабеля и откройте iTunes, если вы используете Windows (или Finder на Mac). Щелкните значок устройства, чтобы просмотреть страницу «Сводка».

- Здесь прокрутите вниз и убедитесь, что «Синхронизация с этим iPhone через Wi-Fi» включена.

- Когда вы запускаете AltServer на своем компьютере, никакое окно не открывается. Однако вы обнаружите, что AltServer работает на панели задач вашего ПК с Windows. Если вы используете Mac, вы увидите значок AltServer в правом верхнем углу строки меню. В любом случае щелкните значок AltStore, выберите «Установить AltStore» в раскрывающемся меню и щелкните свой iPhone или iPad, подключенный к компьютеру.

- Вам будет предложено войти в свою учетную запись Apple, чтобы продолжить установку. После того, как вы ввели подробности, нажмите «Установить».

- AltStore должен быть установлен на ваше устройство за несколько секунд. Однако вы не сможете открыть приложение сразу, так как получите сообщение об ошибке «Недоверенный корпоративный разработчик». Чтобы исправить это, вам нужно доверять разработчику.

- Перейдите в «Настройки» -> «Общие» на вашем iPhone или iPad и нажмите «Профили и управление устройством», как показано ниже.

- Затем нажмите на свой адрес электронной почты, который вы использовали для установки AltStore.

- Теперь нажмите «Доверие», чтобы продолжить.

- Когда вам будет предложено подтвердить, снова нажмите «Доверие». Теперь вы сможете без проблем открыть AltStore.

Итак, вы установили AltStore на свой iPhone и iPad.
Здесь важно отметить, что ваша установка AltStore действительна только в течение 7 дней, если вы не используете платную учетную запись разработчика Apple, которая стоит 99 долларов в год. Вам нужно будет переустановить AltStore на свой iPhone или iPad, если он истечет, чтобы продолжать его использовать. Этот 7-дневный срок действия распространяется и на приложения, которые были загружены неопубликованно с помощью AltStore. Если срок действия AltStore или установленных приложений еще не истек, вы можете подключить свое устройство к компьютеру, на котором запущен AltServer, открыть приложение AltStore и нажать «Обновить все» в разделе «Мои приложения».
На момент написания этой статьи Delta и Clip — единственные два приложения, перечисленные в AltStore с поддержкой сторонних источников, которые, как ожидается, появятся в ближайшее время. Вы также можете загружать неопубликованные приложения, выбирая файлы .ipa в приложении «Файлы».
В настоящее время AltStore может использоваться всеми для запуска эмуляторов игровых консолей прямо на своих iPhone и iPad, таких как Super NES, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS и других. Вам просто нужно скачать приложение Delta из AltStore. Или вы можете установить Clip, если вам всегда нужен специальный менеджер буфера обмена для iOS или iPadOS.
