Howdy Patrons,
ICYMI we recently released Delta 1.7, and we want to thank you again for helping us finish it! We’re thrilled with the response so far and are hoping everyone is enjoying playing with more people now 🙂
But that’s enough Delta for now — today we’re actually here with an update for AltStore Classic! AltStore Classic 2.2b is now available with some nice bug fixes and improvements, like support for the Increased Memory Limit entitlement. Why’s that so cool, you ask? It means you can run newer, more memory-intensive emulators for iOS! (You might see some fun examples over on the subreddit r/EmulationOniOS 👀)
This release also comes with a few changes that we want to beta test before releasing the update for everyone, so please let us know what you think. We have something special planned for Classic, and we’ll be sharing more details about that very soon!
-Riley + Shane
