Is there a guide to use the alt store? Is installing it kind of hacky?

Wow! It sucks not being in the EU.

Can’t wait until this is eventually forced on Apple.

It pisses me off that I can just dock my phone and run full blown macOS while docked.

But to publish on AltStore, you need a developer account, which already provides free publishing on Apple’s App Store.

The big difference is that you can publish anything that can be notarized instead of being limited by Apple’s reams of regulations. But you still have to abide by the Apple Developer agreement.

At least AltStore doesn’t require a big sideloading song and dance anymore. But I stopped using it once the software I used it for became available on the App Store.

And Riley’s going to have to deal with malware and scams now :/
