The wait is over! Today we’re officially joining the fediverse

AltStore PAL 2.3 is now available and makes it easier than ever to discover new apps from across the social web

Even better — we’re also launching some awesome fediverse apps on AltStore to celebrate!

Learn more 🧵

Since October, developers have been automatically federating their apps, app updates, and news alerts to our ActivityPub server https://explore.alt.store

And now with AltStore PAL 2.3, users can view all likes on these from across the social web directly in AltStore — and even connect their Mastodon or Bluesky accounts to like them in-app

[altstore@fosstodon.org]

To celebrate us joining the fediverse, we're also launching 3 incredible fediverse-related apps on AltStore!

iPhanpy — a mobile Mastodon client by @fantinel

️ @peertube — a video hosting platform by @framasoft

@loops — a short-form video app by @pixelfed

You can add them from our Add Source screen, and also follow them all on https://explore.alt.store

[altstore@fosstodon.org]

Speaking of sources, we’ve also redesigned the Add Source screen with new curated "Source Collections" featuring some of our favorite sources!

Check out some of our most popular apps like Side Search by Cizzuk or hand-selected indie gems like fun, quirky cat games from @stux

That’s not all — this update also includes a refreshed Liquid Glass UI 🫧 in addition to plenty of bug fixes.

This is a big step forward for AltStore PAL on its social web journey, and we can’t wait to see what you do with it!

May I suggest you tag your post #apple or #appleProduct or whatever to make the 95% of people who do not use apple product aware that this is not for them ?
thanks

@altstore just learned about AltStore PAL and as someone who lives in the US I’m definitely jealous of those in the EU. When do ya’ll expect we’ll see an AltStore NTSC release?

[hellomiakoda@pdx.social]

@altstore I've never heard of you, but welcome!

[grishka@friends.grishka.me]

AltStore, doesn't Japan use NTSC though

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@altstore congratulations and thanks for what you do.

@altstore “tap permission to show more” shows just a black box (iOS 18, dark mode)

@altstore So cool to see our app featured in there - really proud to be part of this! Thanks for highlighting indie games like ours! 🥳
