The third alpha of IPAForge. It adds an Apps section that keeps your apps from expiring, app sources in the AltStore format, and a detailed view of each install. Please report problems in Issues, with the logs attached (Logs, ⌘L / Ctrl+L).

What's new

  • Apps: the apps on your device signed with your Apple ID, with when each one expires.
    • Refresh works like SideStore's: while the certificate that signed an app is still valid, it only gets a new profile, so nothing is installed again. Otherwise it's installed again over the old app, keeping its data, and the run says why.
    • Update installs a newer version from the app's own source. Remove deletes it.
    • Automatic refresh while IPAForge is open: on by default, 2 days before an app expires.
    • Apps installed by IPAForge on another computer are recognised, and refreshed here too.
    • Apps installed by other tools with the same Apple ID are listed separately.
  • App sources:
    • Preload reads sources in the AltStore format. The IPAForge catalog and SideStore's source are built in, and you can add others by link.
    • Browse apps shows every source's apps, with search, a source filter and the versions of each app.
  • Install progress in detail:
    • downloads and transfers show their speed and time left;
    • requests to Apple show their progress, and iOS shows its own install percent;
    • the device line says USB or Wi-Fi, and installs over Wi-Fi are compressed.
  • Languages: every translation has been reviewed.
  • Safety: Refresh and Update only ever replace an app with the same app.
