The alternative App Store for iPhones

When it comes to the App Store, Apple's philosophy around apps on the iPhone has been consistent. You need to follow its rules, or you're not allowed on iOS. But app developer Riley Testut has a new strategy for distributing mobile apps outside the App Store, and it's called AltStore. It's an alternative app store for the iPhone that lets you install any app, without needing to jailbreak your phone or install an enterprise certificate. He built it initially as a way to distribute his Nintendo emulator Delta, but now he thinks it could support all kinds of software Apple doesn't allow on the App Store. And the best part: anyone can download it.

[ZUvNyAdjbXB]

[Goval]

Great snitching Verge, not even tekashi 69 can top this

[burhanuddingangartalai]

This guy developed a whole new app store, so that he can publish his one app. One app. Thats some level of dedication.

[MrDefinitionMan]

“As long as the apps can sync to iTunes”
Apple: deletes ITunes

[gambetta]

"We're not encouraging you to download these game files"
literally the next sentence: "By the way, the search term you're looking for is ROM"

Oh man... this is not going to end well...

[arifinsalleh]

*Couldn't publish Delta to app store due to strict rules and terms*

*Riley makes a whole other app store just to publish Delta*

Riley is a man of focus, dedication, and sheer will.

The Verge: don’t download video game ROMs

Also The Verge: clearly playing a Pokémon video game ROM in the end of the video

[MattMaggioChannel]

Someone just lost there Developer license for the rest of there life, nice job Verge.

[Kysen]

How to advertise piracy(snes) and put a target on a devs back in one video. You think Apple wont shut this down?

[ccolorsplit]

One factual error:


Jailbreaking hasn’t died out. In fact, an exploit in the bootrom has made to possible to have a jailbreak on ANY iOS version that the iPhone 5s-X can run

[lordnodob]

AFTER JAILBREAKING STARTED TO FADE OUT

Knowledge less plebs
The Jailbreak community is on a high rise

[GlucoseLouie]

So that’s what Demetri Martin has been up to

[OPERATIONiDROID]

The Altstore and Delta are a gift from God!
