Took some tinkering, but I’ve successfully updated Delta’s melonDS core to 0.9.5!

This primarily improves game compatibility — but also adds some new capabilities such as emulating the DS’ GBA slot 🎉

Apple’s told us many times their goal is for Notarization to take “a few hours” max, but so far every AltStore app submission (from both us and 3rd party devs) has taken multiple weeks 🙃

⚠️ PAL users: if Delta did not properly update to the latest version, you may need to remove it from your My Apps tab. Just long-press the app and select “Remove”

Once you’ve done this, you can “reinstall” Delta to manually update it. You do NOT need to delete Delta at any point.

@shourijo @altstore looks like that’s an iOS bug :/ tl;dr the API to check whether an app is already installed is unreliable, which AltStore needs to determine whether it’s a “download” or “redownload” (otherwise nothing happens…)

Does rebooting the device help by any chance?

@rileytestut Hi Riley! I’ve tried to update Delta app and the update process finished, but the app isn’t updated – still showing 1.5.2.

So, I’ve deleted Delta and now I’m unable to install it again. There is only an option to open it in AltStore but nothing happens then.

@rileytestut@mastodon.social avatar

@mcskrzypczak hmm did you just try to update in past couple days? There was a bug originally, but thought we fixed it 🤔

either way here’s a workaround to manually update Delta for now, sorry for the issue! https://fosstodon.org/@altstore/112458269917912690

OpenAI ripping off Scarlett Johansson’s voice is perfectly in keeping with the rest of the data sourcing, isn’t it

To celebrate AltStore PAL’s first month, @shanegill.io and I spoke to Bloomberg about our extended European adventure to launch PAL + Delta 🎉

Come for the story, stay for my absurd iMac work stations :) https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-20/altstore-goes-to-absurd-lengths-for-third-party-iphone-apps

It’s unacceptable IMO that tvOS apparently doesn’t allows apps to use persistent storage. For instance, the new RetroArch game emulator has to store all your savegames, screenshots, ROMs in the Caches directory, which the OS may purge at any time without warning. poof

“your app can only access 500 KB of persistent storage … Outside of this limited local storage, all other data must be purgeable by the OS when space is low.” https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/General/Conceptual/AppleTV_PG/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40015241-CH12-SW1 Why even sell the 128 GB Apple TV then?

@ole no persistent storage is honestly a big reason why I haven’t yet ported Delta to Apple TV 😬

can confirm we found out the App Store was going to allow emulators right as we were boarding a roller coaster at Tivoli Gardens cc/ @MuseumShuffle

Forcing myself to use Stage Manager with my new iPad, and I’m really struggling to create a mental model of how to use it. I feel like windows should be added to the current stage by default, but am I just using it wrong?

@nileane ok I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks this, fingers crossed for WWDC 🤞

@exchgr anecdotally I’ve been hearing better things about it on Mac at least! (I still haven’t enabled it tho, I love my spaces)

@matthewcassinelli I feel like that’s your solution to everything 😜
