Getting some Qs about Delta availability, hope this clarifies things!
• Delta is exclusive to AltStore in EU
• Because of Apple’s new dev terms, all downloads in EU cost us €0.50/yr in AltStore PAL and App Store…so couldn’t offer Delta in EU App Stores without making it paid
• App Store only supports one-time paid-upfront apps, so we’d have to pick a price that could support ~years of CTFs
• PAL’s €1.50 covers Delta’s CTF
• We’d make everything free everywhere if it wasn’t for the CTF 🙂
@rileytestut So….in a nutshell, you WOULD submit Delta to both AltStore and the EU App Store if you could, but the terms have already been agreed upon at this point.
@rileytestut A friend of mine from the Faroe Islands can’t install Delta from either source because the Faroe Islands are not part of the EU so no access to AltStore, but they also don’t have a separate App Store region, they use Denmark’s, which is in the EU. Edge cases like this show how Apple’s awful petty rules hurt their users.
@rileytestut not if delta isn’t listed in a 3rd party App Store though, right? So if delta is only listed in App Store, and nowhere else, no ctf would apply
@piyuv we already agreed to the new terms in order to launch AltStore, and Apple doesn’t allow going back once you distribute an app on another store (which we already had by the time they changed the App Store rules)
@rileytestut thanks for clarifying! So to make what I said possible, you’d have to create a new Apple developer account and then Apple could, theoretically, claim that what you’re doing is against the ToS. Or if that’s not the case, you wouldn’t want to do that to show the world that Apple is causing this headache, which I’d fully agree
@rileytestut is it possible to install AltStore PAL on two iPhones with the same Apple ID ? I want to install it in my old iPhone too but right now it doesn’t seem to work
@rileytestut People report (via Reddit, Github, etc.) they have issues downloading Altstore PAL, the download button does not do anything.
Are you aware of this?
@rileytestut this emulator is so good. I was so surprised that it had acellerometer support so we could play games like WarioWare Twisted. Something I haven’t been able to do on my Analogue Pocket without buying the cartridge for $150 US
@rileytestut Ah, ok - that makes sense... So if I'll create a separate account for (exclusive) apps to distribute in AltStore for example - it should be ok, right? 😏
