AltStore + AltServer 1.6b3 - Consider These Errors Handled 🫱⚠️🫲 (Patreon)

Happy November Everyone! 🦃

This year, AltStore is participating in “No Bad Errors November” by revamping our error handling to better assist you when something goes wrong! Previously, error messages were purposefully condensed to fit inside AltStore’s small alert bubbles…which meant potentially useful information was being discarded 🙀

To fix this, we now include as much information as possible with each error, such as recovery suggestions or even the exact line of code that caused the error. All this information can be viewed from the Error Log in AltStore or by clicking View More Details/Help on AltServer error alerts. We hope this makes solving issues yourself or requesting support much easier!
