Description

When I try to sign into apple, I get the error “AltServer could not be found”. It also says that when I try to install things. I installed AltStore Classic with my AltStore PAL. When you announced the birthday message, you stated that the notarized version would not require AltServer. Is there a fix to this error? I’ve read the error message on the AltStore docs but it says I need alt server on the docs but you guys said we don’t. It’s pretty annoying because there isn’t anything documented about it for the notarized version, at least from what I’ve found.

Research direction

Reproduce the sign-in and installation flows in the notarized AltStore Classic installed through AltStore PAL, using the screenshots and the documented “AltServer could not be found” error as context. Compare the observed behavior with the stated no-AltServer expectation and the existing AltStore documentation. Done means the notarized flow works as announced or its requirements are clearly documented.
