How this thread works. The first post is the status and I edit it, with the date, within a day of a new iOS release, a new tool release or a reported break. Latest public iOS on 2026-11-11: iOS 27.2.1 (security update released 2026-11-09); iOS 27.3 is in public beta. Replies are for reports: post your device, iOS version, tool version and what happened. A reply that matches an existing problem gets added to the list with the date.

Current state
- AltStore's release notes list 2.3.1 (2026-10-21): experimental "Randomize Bundle IDs" setting (offered as a possible fix for the banned-profile error), fixes for error -80045, background refresh and missing 2FA codes. GitHub's releases page still shows v2.3, 2026-09-30 as latest; we could not reconcile the two.
- A post on r/AltStore (2026-11-09) says AltStore Classic 2.3.3 and AltServer 1.8.4 fix a new 415 error; update from the My Apps tab, and AltServer via "Check for Updates". We could not find 2.3.3 on the release notes page or GitHub, so treat the version numbers as unconfirmed.
- Original 2.3 release: 2026-09-30 on GitHub (the notes page says 2026-09-14). New: Remote AltServer (sideload and refresh without a computer, set up from AltStore settings) and a Liquid Glass UI for iOS 26.
- Minimum iOS raised to 17.4 in v2.3.
- Without Remote AltServer, AltServer must run on a computer on the same Wi-Fi.
Known problems
- A member post (2026-11-10) says repeated 503 errors after updating can be cleared with Settings, Server, Reset Remote AltServer, then setting it up again. Unverified.
- Remote AltServer setup failures with LocalDevVPN are being reported (2026-11-10); no fix found.
- "The provisioning profile is banned" on free Apple IDs, with many new reports on 2026-11-11: see our thread on this error.
- We found no known-issues list on the v2.3 release page.
- AltStore's troubleshooting guide says it was last updated 2 years ago, so it predates v2.3.
- Not yet confirmed by us on iOS 27.x.
