What is AltStore?

It is easy to sideload games and applications to your iPhone and iPad using the third-party app called AltStore. It allows anyone to use their Apple ID and install nearly anything on the iOS device that can't be installed through the official App Store or iTunes.

Using AltStore is easy. It requires no jailbreaking. Ensure you have a Lightning cable to connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer and a stable WiFi connection.

AltStore lets you install unc0ver jailbreak on any iPhone or iPad running iOS 12.2 or newer version. Unfortunately, this store will not let you enjoy unc0ver on earlier iOS devices, even though this semi-untethered jailbreak supports operating systems starting from iOS 12 and through iOS 14.8.
