  • A famous iOS app developer Riley Testut developed AltStore as an iOS app which allows you to sideload IPA files on your iOS device by signing your own Apple ID. This is quite similar to the Cydia Impactor method
  • Most of the third-party app stores are revoked by Apple. But Altstore never gets revoked. AltStore Jailbreak IPA’s / Apps prevent expiring issues as it is used to re-sign apps with personal development certificates over iTunes WiFi sync through AltServer. The other important thing is it can continue app updates directly through AltStore
  • Altstore expires in 7 days – Normally, the apps you have installed using non-developer Apple IDs are only valid for 7 days. Those apps  will no longer open. AltStore will refresh your apps in the background from time to time to resolve this. Once refreshed, they will not expire for another week. Also it can manually refresh your apps from within AltStore
